Important Safety Information Observe the following safety precautions when installing NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPGPU cards in the PowerEdge C8220X sled. WARNING: Working on systems that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. CAUTION: The sled must be operated with the cover installed to ensure proper cooling. CAUTION: To ensure proper airflow in the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure, if a sled module is removed it should be immediately replaced with another sled or sled blank.
