HOT SWAP & HOT SPARE MANAGEMENT SERVICE

Within a Hot Swap program, when a device requires service, Panasonic sends the user a fully functional computer from a reserve of customer-owned computers stored at Panasonic’s National Service Center. The replacement unit is shipped for next business day delivery whenever a user calls Panasonic Technical Support and determines that the computer needs to be serviced. The user removes the storage drive from the original computer and inserts it into the replacement unit, eliminating the need to transfer files or software. The user keeps the replacement computer and ships the original unit to Panasonic. When the original computer is received by Panasonic, it is repaired, re-imaged and put back into the customer’s consigned inventory for future use. Unlike Hot Swap, when Hot Spare is chosen, the original unit sent in for service is returned to the original end user following service and the original spare unit is returned to the customer-owned reserve.
