Additional Cost – Services can be provided based as a time and expense engagement
Advanced Exchange – An Egenera owned spare is shipped to the customer according to the SLA so that a failed part can be replaced before it is de-installed to minimize potential outage.  Replacement parts do not become customer property until the defective part is received by Egenera, prior to that customer is responsible for the return or purchase of Egenera spare within 30 days.
Initial Installation – Refers to the act of first assembling, testing, and configuring the core Egenera products.  It does not refer to implementing the customer’s specific environment.
Upgrade Installation – Refers to the resources required to install any enhancements to the existing Egenera products.  For hardware these are separately purchased parts.  For software upgrades are major releases indicated by a increment in the whole number or first decimal (i.e. PAN 4.0 is a upgrade to PAN 3.2 or below and PAN 5.1 is a upgrade to PAN 5.0 or lower).
Patch Installation – Refers to the resources required to install any software releases that provide fixes to known bugs these packages are identified by increments in decimal places beyond the first.
** Timing represents a minimal committed SLA from time Egenera establishes need but exact date and time of dispatch depends on customer’s ability to consume those services.
*** Timing represents a minimal committed SLA for needs identified by Egenera prior to 3PM EST but exact date and time of dispatch depends on customer’s ability to consume those services.
