Removing a Sled
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized is not covered by
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: To ensure proper airflow in the system, if a 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 Single-Wide Sled Blank" on page 145.
1 Power down the sled using OS commands or the Baseboard Management
Controller, and ensure that the sled's power is off.
When a sled is powered off, its front-panel power indicator is off.
2 Pull up on the compute sled release latch at the bottom of the sled to
disengage the sled from the server enclosure. See Figure 3-4.
3 Using the handle, slide the sled out of the enclosure. See Figure 3-4.
