CAUTION Hewlett-Packard has not verified the NRJE product with all possible combinations of host system software releases. We are continually certifying with new host system software releases. Check with your Hewlett-Packard representative for the most up-to-date list. Hewlett-Packard does not require that the customer run on one of the verified versions. However, not doing so applies limits to Hewlett-Packard's liability in addition to the normal limits. Because of the certification problems imposed by the host system versions, Hewlett-Packard must restrict its support policy in the following ways. The resolution of all problems will fall into one of the categories listed below: If a problem is caused by incorrect operation of the Hewlett-Packard product, Hewlett-Packard will repair the product. If a problem is caused by incorrect operation at the host, (a) Hewlett-Packard may require that the user change to a known working version of the software; (b) Hewlett-Packard may elect to change the Hewlett-Packard product to conform to the situation. As always, Hewlett-Packard will in good faith attempt to solve the problem with the customer.
