INTRODUCTION

Highly dense computing solutions pack the processing

power you need into a small space to help you save on both capital

expenditure and operating expenses. Setting up large chassis

designed to hold multiple dense servers, or sleds, can appear a

daunting task. In this guide, we walk you through the simple

process for setting up a full Dell PowerEdge C8000 chassis. We set

up a full chassis in our own labs and also weighed various sled

configurations to help you best determine what will work in your

datacenter. With this simple guide, you can set up your own Dell

PowerEdge C8000 compute system in no time.

Dell 42U rack

For high-density servers, Dell recommends Dell PowerEdge

4220 rack enclosures. There are three versions of the PowerEdge

4220 rack: standard, deep, and wide. For a highly dense computing

solution such as the Dell PowerEdge C8000 chassis, we recommend

a sturdy and roomy rack such as the PowerEdge 4220D (deep rack)

or PowerEdge 4220W (wide rack). The PowerEdge 4220D rack is

slightly deeper than the other racks (600mm wide x 1,200mm

deep) and the PowerEdge 4220W rack is somewhat wider (750mm

wide x 1,070mm deep). Be sure to check the depth and width of

your available space for proper clearance prior to picking a server

rack. For our installation, we used a Dell PowerEdge 4220W rack

(see Figure 1). This rack has a static load capacity of 2,500 pounds

and extra width for cabling. Make sure you properly configure any

rack you use according to documentation prior to installing the

C8000 chassis. For most 4220W installations using cable service

loops, closing the front door may require you to reposition the

mounting rails further back in the rack. We repositioned the

mounting rails as such to accommodate SAS cabling for this
