EMC VNX5400 Hardware Information Guide
Appendix B: Field lift tool and accessory kit
describes the approximate weight of the VNX-series enclosures used in the VNX
storage systems (including all FRUs installed).
The portable lift commonly used by EMC service personnel has two configurations—one
with the lower mast only and one with both the lower and upper masts. The lower mast
configuration is rated for 400 pounds (181 kg) and is for raising or lowering objects 28U
(4.08 ft, 1.25 m) or less above the floor. The dual mast configuration is rated well under
200 pounds (90.7 kg) and is for raising objects more than 28U (4.08 ft, 1.25 m) above the
floor.
• For installations at or below 4.08 ft (1.25 m), you must use the lower mast
configuration.
• For installations above 4.08 ft (1.25 m), use the accessory kit, rated for 225 pounds
(102 kg), and a support table with the lower mast configuration. This accessory kit and
support table are available from the lift provider.
