Getting Started With Your System 13
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.
a. Sled bays 5 and 6 support installation of two power sleds or two C8220 compute sleds or a
combination of the two sled types.
b. For server enclosure with internal power source, install C8000XD storage sleds in sled bays 3 to 10
only.
c. Install power sleds in sled bays 5 and 6 only.
