Dell C8000 owner manual Sled Bay Numbering, Sled module type

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.
