Installation and Configuration

WARNING:

safety instructions that came with the system.

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.

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.
