Sled; Removing A Sled - Dell PowerEdge C8000 Hardware Owner's Manual

Sled

CAUTION:
To ensure proper airflow in the system, if a sled module is removed it
should be immediately replaced with another sled or sled blank.
CAUTION:
Operating the system for extended periods of time without a sled blank
installed can cause the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure to overheat. See
"Installing a Sled Blank" on page 143.

Removing a Sled
