The purpose of the Census is so that the university maintains its Highly Trusted Sponsor status as a sponsor of Tier 4 students with the UK Border Agency. The consequence of you not doing the Census will result in you being withdrawn from the university and subsequent deportation.
Basically, what you have to do:
1) Ensure that you are already fully matriculated in the university:
You can check this by going to MyEd -> Studies -> Program of study box should say whether you're registered and matriculated. This is an important first step as your student visa will be invalidated if the University does not confirm your attendance by 5 weeks after the start date.
More info about matriculation:

3) Remember to take with you
a) University of Edinburgh student card
b) Passport and visa
c) Biometric card (if you have one)
As mentioned before, the Census is crucial as you will be withdrawn from the University and removed from the UK if you fail to do the Census. If your passport lasts more than 6 months, you will have 60 days to leave the UK if you fail to do the Census.
If you cannot attend:
Due to illness, fieldwork, research work, placement etc: you must inform the Academic Registry: registry@ed.ac.uk.
If you are ill, you must provide a medical certificate and you must report as soon as possible in person to the Academic Registry.
If you have interrupted your studies, make sure you are listed as such on MyEd as you are not expected to attend the Census.
