Removing Sled Modules from the Server Enclosure
Before you install a PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure into a rack, it is
recommended that you remove all sled modules from the enclosure to reduce
system weight and avoid injury.
For instructions on removing components from the server enclosure, refer to
the following sections.
• "Removing a Double-Wide Sled Blank" on page190
• "Removing a Single-Wide Sled Blank" on page191
• "Removing a Compute Sled" on page 192
• "Removing a Storage Sled" on page 194
• "Removing a Power Sled" on page198 (for server enclosure with internal
power source only)
Installing the Server Enclosure into the Rack
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.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive slots must
have hard-drive blanks installed.
