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. CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESDpreventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the PE and its components. WARNING: When working with optical fibres, follow all the warning labels and always wear eye protection. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fibre or connector as it may cause eye damage. To connect to a C9010: 1. Position the SFP+ optic correctly over a port. The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly. 2. Insert the optic into an SFP+ port until it gently snaps into place. 3. Connect one end of an appropriately connectorized fiber-optic cable into the port. Connect the other end to an SFP+ connector in a C9010 switch. Installing the Hardware 15

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.
CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-
preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the PE and its components.
WARNING: When working with optical fibres, follow all the warning labels and always wear eye
protection. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fibre or connector
as it may cause eye damage.
To connect to a C9010:
1.
Position the SFP+ optic correctly over a port. The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted
incorrectly.
2.
Insert the optic into an SFP+ port until it gently snaps into place.
3.
Connect one end of an appropriately connectorized fiber-optic cable into the port. Connect the
other end to an SFP+ connector in a C9010 switch.
