The PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure features ten vertically aligned sled
bays which 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. To function as a
system, a compute sled is inserted into the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure
that supports fans and is connected to an external power source or an internal
power source (power sleds). The redundant system fans are shared resources
of the sleds in the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the enclosure must be
populated at all times with either a sled or with a sled blank.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure is referred
to as simply the "server enclosure" or the "chassis".

Accessing System Features During Startup
The following keystrokes provide access to system features during startup.
The SAS/SATA card or PXE hotkey support are available only in the BIOS
boot mode. Hotkey function is not available in the Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot mode.
Keystroke Description
<F2> Enters the System Setup program. See "System Setup Menu" on
page 67.
<F11>Enters the BIOS Boot Manager or the Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI) Boot Manager, depending on the
system's boot configuration.

Sled Bay Numbering
The front of the 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.

Fan Bay Numbering
The back of the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure includes three hotswappable fan modules that provide the system with a redundant cooling
source. Each fan module contains two cooling fans. All three fan modules
must be installed at all times to ensure proper cooling.

Sled Features
Compute Sleds
The PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure holds up to ten single-wide compute
sleds or five double-wide compute sleds. Each compute sled is equivalent to a
standard server built with a processor(s), memory, network interface,
baseboard management controller, and local hard-drive storage.

5Power-on indicator/
power button
The power-on indicator lights when the
sled power is on. The power-on indicator
lights amber when the system critical event
occurs.
NOTE: The power-on indicator lights amber
according to critical system error log (SEL)
assertion. If the SEL is full or a deassertion
event occurred while sensor monitoring is
paused (e.g. fan monitoring is paused during
system power off), the power-on indicator
turns amber. To turn off an amber LED and
reset the power-on indicator to normal
condition (solid green), either perform a
BMC cold reset or reseat the sled in the
server enclosure.
The power button turns the compute
sled on.
NOTES:
• When powering on the sled, the video
monitor can take from several seconds
to over 2 minutes to display an image,
depending on the amount of memory
installed in the system.
• On ACPI-compliant operating systems,
turning off the sled using the power
button causes the sled to perform a
graceful shutdown before power to the
sled is turned off.
• To force an ungraceful shutdown, press
and hold the power button for five
seconds.

Double-Wide Compute Sled
The C8220X double-wide compute sled includes two types of configuration,
a double-wide compute sled with front-access 2.5-inch hot-plug hard-drives
and a double-wide compute sled with general-purpose graphics processing
unit (GPGPU).
