As (memory), check into maintenance and guarantees too. If you are doing a box-swap, you're probably safe IF the original box was a 3000 (not a 9000) and is certified for HP maintenance and the vendor covers the box installation. If a board swap, be more careful. Be sure you are getting a real update from the vendor (CPU, PDH, and sometimes PSM firmware, etc) from a bona-fide 3000. If the equivalent parts came from a 9000 box you're again looking at time and materials, and possibly invalidating your service contract (there is a difference, albeit small, and HP has a low tolerance for swapping parts across platforms).
