About the System

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".
