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. (Optional) Set up a C1048P stack by connecting to other C1048Ps. 5. Power up the system. To connect the C1048P to a network after you install it in a rack and power it up, configure the initial software settings. For more information, see Configuring the Software. NOTE: Although Dell Networking strongly recommends that you install the C1048P in a rack, you may install it on a flat surface as a free-standing device. The surface must be able to support the weight of the C1048P and the PE cables. The C1048P ships with four self-adhesive rubber pads. 1. When installing the C1048P on a flat surface, attach the self-adhesive rubber pads on each location marked on the bottom of the switch (unless you are using a rack). 2. Set the C1048P on a flat surface. Make sure that it has proper ventilation by leaving 5 cm (2 inches) on each side and 13 cm (5 inches) at the back. Before You Start: Rack Safety Considerations Before installing the C1048P in a rack, review the following rack mounting safety considerations. WARNING: For complete safety information, read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information booklet before you begin. This document contains a condensed summary. • Rack loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, causing damage to the equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating. • Power considerations - Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When you install multiple electrical components in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards. • Elevated ambient temperature - If you install the system in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Use care not to exceed the 50 degrees C maximum ambient temperature of the switch. 12 Installing the Hardware
