The Dell SolVe tool is the primary, officially sanctioned application for generating detailed, step-by-step Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) procedures and service information for Dell PowerStore systems. It creates customized procedural guides for specific hardware configurations and software versions, ensuring technicians use the most current and validated instructions for maintenance, upgrades, and hardware replacement. While other resources provide general information, SolVe is the specific tool used to generate the actual service procedures.

A. PowerStore Manager help: This provides software-level administrative and operational guidance from within the UI, not detailed hardware replacement (FRU) procedures.

B. DELL EMC PowerStore Product Page: This is a pre-sales and marketing resource containing datasheets and high-level specifications, not technical service and repair manuals.

C. DELL EMC Online Support: This is a broad portal that hosts documentation and provides access to the SolVe tool, but SolVe is the specific application for generating the procedures.

1. Dell PowerStore Hardware Information Guide (for PowerStoreOS 3.0): In the "Getting help" section

it explicitly states: "For information about replacing a hardware component

see the documentation that is generated by SolVe for PowerStore." (Page 10)

2. Dell PowerStore: Introduction to the Platform White Paper: In the "Serviceability" section

it notes: "All service operations are documented and available through the SolVe tool. This tool generates specific

step-by-step instructions with pictures and videos to guide the user through the process." (Page 26)

3. Dell SolVe Online Landing Page: The official description for the tool states it is used to "generate step-by-step procedures for installing

configuring

and servicing your Dell and EMC products." This directly confirms its purpose for generating service procedures. (Accessible via support.dell.com)
