2 C1048P Hardware Description The Dell Networking C1048P is a stackable Gigabit Ethernet port extender (PE) for campus access deployments. The C1048P is used as a 1 rack unit (RU) port extender for the C9010 modular chassis and requires a C9010 switch to operate. The C1048P functions as a remote line card that is physically connected to, and provisioned by, a C9010 over 10GbE uplinks. You can connect up to 40 C1048P PEs (standalone and stacked) to a C9010 switch.
• Warranty and Support Information • Software License Agreement You can order additional items, such as optics, cables, and external power supplies. C1048P Front Panel The ports on the front panel of the C1048P PE are shown in the following illustration and described below. Figure 1. C1048P Front Panel: Ports and Reset Button 1. Console port The console port provides serial communication using the RS-232 protocol to connect a console terminal and access the C1048P command-line interface (CLI).
The 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports connect to downstream servers and edge devices. These ports support auto-negotiation for speed and duplex transmission. C1048P Gigabit Ethernet ports are numbered 1 to 48. NOTE: Dell Networking does not recommend that you connect a Gigabit Ethernet port to another switch or bridge. A loop in the topology may result.

C1048P Back Panel The back panel of the C1048P PE is shown in the following illustration and described below. Figure 3. C1048P Back Panel 1. Stack ports: Each C1048P has two fixed mini-SAS (STD) stacking connectors on its back panel. Stack port 1 is on top; stack port 2 is on the bottom. You can stack up to eight C1048P PEs using the mini-SAS ports on the back panel. A C1048P PE supports stacking only with other C1048P PEs.
Stack Port LEDs The stack port LEDs are located to the right of each stack port. The Link LED is above the Activity LED. Figure 4. C1048P Back Panel: Stack Port LEDs 1. Stack port 1: Activity LED 2.

other devices that might damage the cables. If necessary, allow one RU space between devices to provide room for cabling. • Temperature: The ambient temperature around the operating PE is from 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F). • Altitude: Altitude at the installation site is below 10,000 feet (3048 m). • Humidity: The relative humidity around the operating PE is 8% to 85% (non-condensing) with a maximum humidity gradation of 10% per hour.
3 Installing the Hardware To install the C1048P PE, mount it into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E compliant rack. You can install the C1048P in a 1U 4-post front-rack or 1U 2-post (flush and center) rack configuration. Using a rack mount tray is optional. To install the C1048P PE in a rack: 1. (Optional) Install a rack mount tray in a 2- or 4-post rack. 2. Install the C1048P chassis in the rack using mounting brackets. 3. Connect the C1048P to a C9010 switch. 4.
• • Reliable earthing — Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit; for example, use of power strips. Rack mounting — Do not mount the port extender with the rear panel facing in the downward position. Installing a Rack Mount Tray (Optional) You can use a rack mount tray to support the weight of the C1048P in a 4-post rack. You must order the tray separately.
CAUTION: Before installing the C1048P in a rack, disconnect all cables (if attached) and remove all self-adhesive pads (if attached) from the underside of the C1048P. CAUTION: If you plan to install multiple C1048P PEs in a rack, mount the C1048s from the bottom up. Make sure that the air flow through the ventilation holes on each C1048P is not obstructed. To install the C1048P in a rack: 1. Align the holes on the right rack-mount bracket with the holes on the right side (facing you) of the C1048P. 2.
Figure 7. Mounting the C1048P in a 2-Post Rack Connecting to a C9010 Switch The C1048P port extender has two 10G SFP+ ports on the front panel (see Figure 2). The two SFP+ ports provide 10GbE uplinks to a C9010 switch with SFP+ transceivers. At least one 10GbE SFP+ uplink is required to connect to a C9010 switch. NOTE: A C1048P can connect to a C9010 switch only through a 10GbE SFP+ port; a C1048P cannot connect to a C9010 through a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 port.
Stacking Multiple C1048P Port Extenders The C1048P supports PE stacking, which allows multiple C1048P units to act as a single port extender. You can stack up to eight C1048Ps using the stack ports on the back panel. C1048P stack ports support the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) protocol and operate as mini-SAS ports. The C1048P supports stacking only with other C1048P port extenders. The stacked PEs operate as a single unit with up to 384 front panel ports.
Figure 8. C1048P Stack in a Ring Topology 1. C1048P stack 2. Mini-SAS cables attached in a ring topology The C1048P stack in Figure 8 is connected in a ring topology with the following physical connections between port extenders. The PEs are numbered Unit 0 to Unit 2. After you power on the stack units, the Stack Master LED on the C1048P that is elected master displays solid green. • The bottom mini-SAS port on the top unit is connected to the top mini-SAS port on the middle unit.
Powering up the C1048P CAUTION: Read the safety information in the Safety and Regulatory Information manual and the safety information for C9000 Series switches that connect to the C1048P. The C1048P has one internal power supply. The AC and DC power connectors are on the back panel (see Back Panel). To power up a C1048P, connect it to an AC power source: 1. Using an IEC-320-C15 power cable with safety ground, connect the power cable to the AC main receptacle on the back panel. 2.
