Included Warranty Overview
Included Warranty Overview
For peace of mind, all GB Labs solutions include 30 days of standard technical support within the first six months of shipment (from GB Labs) and a 12-month limited warranty.
The included warranty provides replacement of removable parts (HDDs and removable PSU only). All other warranty claims will require a return to base (RTB) of the whole system.
The RMA process for the included warranty is:
- Raise an RMA with the GB Labs Support team.
- Faulty drives and removable PSUs will need to be shipped by the customer to GB labs via a tracked courier service.
- GB Labs perform testing of the defective part.
- GB Labs sends the replacement part.
GB Labs uses reasonable endeavours to ensure a timely turnaround of RTB warranty items but offers no guarantee for when the customer will receive an RMA return.
Advanced warranty is included in GB Labs Support packages, providing advanced shipping of ALL replaceable parts, significantly reducing the turnaround time. Most advance replacements are processed and shipped in 48 business hours.
