Rack Mount Configuration
Your PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure can be mounted in a four-post rack
cabinet.

Installation Guidelines

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety
and to help protect your system and working environment from potential
damage. See additional safety information included with your system.
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To
avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
WARNING: The system is not fixed to the rack or mounted on the rails. To avoid
personal injury or damage to the system, you must adequately support the system
during installation and removal.
WARNING: To avoid a potential electrical shock hazard, a third wire safety
grounding conductor is necessary for the rack installation. The rack equipment
must provide sufficient airflow to the system to maintain proper cooling.
CAUTION: Before you install the server enclosure into a rack, it is recommended
that you remove all installed sled modules from the enclosure to reduce weight
and avoid injury.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the server enclosure surface and sled
modules, always place the server enclosure and sled modules on an antistatic mat
or antistatic foam.
• Prepare an antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the PowerEdge C8000
server enclosure on during the compute or storage sled removal process.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
