     Why choose for HP equipment ?   
Quality & Reliability by Any 
MeasureHP understands that quality and reliability provide a path for lowering ICT 
costs and that it is not a mere coincidence that it occurs. HP's approach 
focuses on delivering quality and reliability throughout the product lifecycle 
including the design, testing, manufacturing, installation, and operational 
phases of a product's life. It's simple; HP quality products help you to deploy 
more reliable, high quality, industry standard IT solutions within your 
enterprise. The following provides a brief overview of how HP delivers quality 
products and services to the market place through:
 Product DevelopmentHP product users play an important role by telling HP what products they would 
like them to design and the feature functionality they require. HP gathers 
feedback from their customers through focus groups, trade shows, customer 
visits, support calls, human factors studies and, frequently, surveying 
thousands of users - including annual satisfaction surveys of 20,000 customers 
in 30 countries. Compaq engineers then take this information and begin the 
design process, which includes:
 
  |  | Proof Of Concept Teams from Design, Engineering, Marketing, Manufacturing, and Human Factors 
  match your input with emerging standards and technologies to set design and 
  performance goals, and establish specifications for new products.
 |  |  | Product Development Product Validation Engineers probe a components, firmware and software to 
  ensure they work together without conflict and deliver reliable performance in 
  a wide variety of environments.
 |  |  | Manufacturing Verification HP factories then test-builds final prototypes, verifying manufacturing 
  processes and diagnostics to ensure that production facilities meet specific 
  Deskpro quality goals for high-volume production.
 |  |  | Design Prototyping Prototypes are built to verify the design and, with other teams, ensure 
  architecture, ASIC and design integrity.
 |  |  | Issue Resolution The Problem and Enhancement Tracking (PET) system ensures that issues are 
  quickly identified, tracked and resolved throughout design and manufacturing.
 |  Product TestingThere are more than 20 groups within HP that work to ensure long life by testing 
our different products with hundreds of third-party devices in a variety of 
networked environments, simulating years of real-world stress. HP systematically 
push all of their products past reasonable limits to make sure they can handle 
the toughest work place conditions, if encountered. The phases of product 
testing include:
 
  |  | Reliability All HP products are tested under temperature and humidity extremes. Other 
  model testing includes electrical signal integrity, electrostatic discharge, 
  zap the video graphics adapter with electrical surges, and do residual voltage 
  testing. HP perform thermal mapping and, in a wind tunnel, evaluate airflow 
  within the chassis to help ensure proper cooling.
 |  |  | Supplier Qualification To ensure consistent quality, HP put their parts suppliers through a five-step 
  qualification process.
 
    |  | Their engineers provide input into every supplier's designs |  |  | Evaluate a part's overall quality and long-term reliability |  |  | Evaluate the supplier's production process to ensure consistent quality |  |  | Monitor quality performance by examining their qualification and 
    reliability data |  |  | Perform a final review leading to certification |  |  |  | Engineering Verification HP engineers ensure that the board circuitry, ASICs, risers and disk drives 
  work with industry-standard adapters for networking, SCSI, video and audio.
 |  |  | Options Tested Compatibility testing ensures that HP products run flawlessly in your desired 
  configurations and environments. Every product is tested with hardware 
  adapters, peripherals and up to 500 hardware and software options from HP and 
  third party suppliers.
 |  ManufacturingHP is one of the first computer suppliers to earn ISO 9002 certification - a 
crucial measure of quality processes - for all manufacturing facilities 
worldwide. Before leaving their factory for delivery to you, every HP product 
must pass a daunting array of tests and audits. HP passionately strive for zero 
manufacturing defects to ensure their products run flawlessly right out of the 
box. To minimize defects products must pass the following checkpoints during the 
manufacturing process:
 
  |  | Manufacturing Process 100% Testing And Run-In is included as part of the manufacturing process. HP 
  subject every product, without exception, to tests of printed circuits, a CPU 
  pretest and CPU system verification.
 |  |  | Final Audits Quality auditors in all HP factories continuously check tolerances and make 
  other production line measurements to catch unacceptable variances. Their 
  mission: to ensure a stable and reliable manufacturing process.
 |  |  | Product Integrity Other HP teams test products from an end-user perspective to identify and 
  correct any remaining hardware/software interaction issue.
 |  Product Service & SupportHP product quality doesn't stop at the factory door. They provide the ongoing 
service and support for their IT solutions throughout the course of their life 
in your enterprise. Need technical assistance? HP award-winning call center 
quickly resolves most issues on the first call. Need service? HP Services has a
