A Principled Technologies setup guide 10A quick and easy guide to setting up the Dell PowerEdge C8000Installing network cablesEach compute sled has two embedded 1Gb NIC connectors on the front of thesled. Figure 10 shows a single bay C8220 sled, a dual bay C8220x GPU sled, and a dualbay C8220x compute sled. Depending on the required bandwidth, these ports should beconnected to your network switch. We connected both NIC ports to our network switchto allow for maximum bandwidth and configuration options as shown in Figure 11.Use various lengths of Ethernet cable to ensure neat cabling. For example, use14’ cables for the chassis in the bottom of the rack, use 7’ to 10’ cables for the middleand upper chassis, and use 5’ lengths of Ethernet cable for the chassis mounted closestto the switch. Group cables by function for better serviceability.Figure 10: C8220, C8220X GPUand C8220X compute sleds.Figure 11: Ethernet cable installation with 1Gb NIC connectors.
