The PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure is a flexible and scalable 4U
rackmount chassis. PowerEdge C8000 features ten vertically aligned sled bays
that support a full sled or a mixed sled enclosure. A full sled enclosure can
include up to five C8220X double-wide compute sleds, ten C8220 single-wide
compute sleds, or five C8000XD storage sleds. A mixed sled enclosure can
support a mixture of differing sled types.
Recommended Tools
Before you begin the installation tasks, ensure that you have the following
items:
•#1 Phillips screwdriver
•#2 Phillips screwdriver
•Wrist grounding strap connected to ground
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

Sled Bay Numbering
The PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure is divided into ten vertical bays. A
C8220 single-wide compute sled occupies one sled bay in the server enclosure
and a C8220X double-wide compute sled or C8000XD storage sled occupies
two sled bays in the server enclosure. When installing a sled module into the
server enclosure, you should install the sled module in sled bay 1 first, then
work toward the right of the enclosure.
