Sled Bay Numbering - Dell PowerEdge C8000 Getting Started

Sled Bay Numbering

The PowerEdge C8000 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.
