Safeguard Hardware Warranties

Operating expensive IT computer equipment for extended periods of time at high ambient temperatures greatly reduces reliability, longevity of components and will likely cause unplanned downtime.

Dell Limited Warranty Terms – “…this limited warranty does not cover damage due to external causes, including …usage not in accordance with product instructions…”
