Ordering the lift tool
The use of a lift tool is required when you install a DCS3700 storage subsystem or DCS3700 storage
subsystem with Performance Module Controllers in a rack cabinet, and when you remove the DCS3700
storage subsystem or DCS3700 storage subsystem with Performance Module Controllers from a rack
cabinet. Ensure that the lift tool is available on location at the time of the installation. The ordering
procedure for the lift tool varies depending on your location. Ask questions about these procedures to
your regional representative.
