CAUTION:

Restricted Access Location

This server is intended for installation only in restricted access locations as

defined where both these conditions apply:

• Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have been

instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location

and about any precautions that shall be taken.

• Access is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of

security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Installation and Configuration

WARNING:

Before performing the following procedure, review and follow the

safety instructions that came with the system.

The PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure is a flexible and scalable 4U

rackmount chassis. PowerEdge C8000 features ten vertically aligned sled bays

that 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.

Recommended Tools

Before you begin the installation tasks, ensure that you have the following

items:

• #1 Phillips screwdriver

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Wrist grounding strap connected to ground

• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

Unpacking the 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.

CAUTION:

Wear a wrist grounding strap when handling system components.

1

Prepare an

antistatic mat or antistatic foam

to set the PowerEdge C8000

server enclosure on.

2

Unpack and place your enclosure on an

antistatic mat or antistatic foam

.

3

Save the cardboard containers for future use.

Installing the Tool-Less Rail Solution

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:

The rail pegs must be flush with the rack posts to install

properly.

NOTE:

The rack rails are marked LEFT and RIGHT. The rail marked "LEFT" attaches

to the left rack posts and the rail marked "RIGHT" attaches to the right rack posts

when facing the front of the rack.

1

Determine where to place the rails in the rack. Make sure there is enough

space in the rack for the 4U chassis. In a standard rack, the height of a 4U

chassis will span 12 rack post holes.

2

Use the marking indicated on the left and right sides of the rail to orient

the rail correctly to the rack posts.

3

Attach the left rail and stopping bracket to the rack.

a

Position left rail marked "

LEFT

" to align with its mounting holes on the

rack posts.

b

Press and hold the rail release button



to open the latch on the front

end of the left rail.

c

Align the three pegs



with the mounting holes on the front rack post.

d

Release the button



when it engages to the front rack post.

NOTE:

Make sure the rail release button is engaged correctly.

NOTE:

The rails can be used in both square-hole and round-hole racks.

piece midpoint and unseat each rail.

Installing the System

This section includes the following subsections:

• Emptying the System

• Install the System Into the Rack

• Sled Bay Numbering

• Populating the System

• Install the External PDU Into the Rack

• Rack Configuration

Emptying the System

Before you install a PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure into a rack, remove all

sled modules from the enclosure to reduce system weight and avoid injury.

Place all sled modules on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

• To remove a

C8220 single-wide compute sled, pull up on the

release latch



and using the handle



slide the sled out of the enclosure.

Getting Started With Your System

7

Populating the System

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.

Install all components into the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure.

• To install a

C8220 single-wide

compute sled, slide the new sled into the

enclosure until the sled is fully seated and the release latch snaps into

place.

• To install a

C8220X double-wide compute sled, slide the new sled into

the enclosure until the sled is fully seated and the release latch snaps

into place.

• To install a

C8000XD storage sled, slide the new sled into the enclosure

until the sled is fully seated and the release tab snaps into place.

• To install a power sled, slide the new sled into the enclosure until the sled

is fully seated and the release latch snaps into place.

• To install a double-wide sled blank, slide the blank into the enclosure until

it is fully seated and the release latches snap into place.

• To install a single-wide sled blank, slide the blank into the enclosure until

it is fully seated and the release latch snaps into place.
