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.
Deployed as a port extender, the C1048P extends the switching capability of the C9010. The C1048P uses a standards-based tagging mechanism coupled with virtual port technology to multiplex and demultiplex data-plane traffic to and from the C9010, which functions as a central point of control.
Although the C1048P PE does not switch traffic, it provides switch services in the same way as a chassis line card, including ACLs for quality of service (QoS) and security, statistics gathering, multicast delivery, LACP link aggregation, and device discovery through LLDP. The C1048P provides 1GbE Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) connectivity, 10GbE uplink capability, and supports PE stacking.
The C1048P PE has the following physical dimensions:
440.0 x 257.0 x 43.5 mm (W x D x H)
17.3 x 15.2 x 1.7 inches (W x D x H)

Unpacking the Switch

The C1048P PE and its accessories ship in a single box. Before unpacking the switch, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage. Verify that you have received your ordered items. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Dell Networking representative or reseller for assistance.
CAUTION: Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the PE and its components. Ground yourself by using an antistatic wrist strap or other device and connect it to the ESD grounding jack on the chassis. As with all electrical devices of this type, take the necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this system.
Unpack the C1048P by carefully removing the device from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface.
The base C1048P package ships with:
One C1048P chassis
One rack-mount kit for rack installation, including two mounting brackets, bolts, and cage nuts
One set of self-adhesive rubber pads for a free-standing PE (four pads are included)

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). To set up a console connection, use the serial cable (RJ-45 to DB-9 female connectors) shipped with the C9010. The console port operates as an asynchronous link from 1200 to 115,200 baud. The default settings are 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, and No Flow Control.
2. USB port
The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 2.0-compliant flash memory drive. The C1048P can read or write to a flash drive formatted as FAT-32. Use a USB flash drive to copy files and images to the C1048P.
3. Reset button
Access the reset button through a pinhole. To perform a hard reset of the C1048P, insert the tip of a paper clip or similar tool into the pinhole. When the PE reboots, it re-establishes communication with an attached C9010, which downloads the latest SW configuration settings.
4. Two 10GbE SFP+ ports
Two SFP+ ports provide 10GbE uplinks to communicate with a C9010. To connect to a C9010 switch, at least one C1048P 10GbE SFP+ port is required. On the C1048P, 10GbE SFP+ ports are numbered 1 and 2, and only support uplinks to a parent C9010; they cannot be used as data ports.
5. Forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports
C1048P Hardware Description
5
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.
The C1048P automatically detects the difference between crossed and straight-through cables on RJ-45 ports and automatically chooses the MDI or MDIX configuration to match the other end. The RJ-45 ports support full-duplex mode 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds on standard Category 5 UTP cable and Power over Ethernet — PoE (15.4W) and PoE+ (30W).
You can configure up to eight C1048P Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in a port channel that connects to a downstream edge device.

Before You Start: Site Preparation

Before installing the C1048P port extender, make sure that your installation site meets these requirements:
Clearance: There is adequate space in front of the PE so you can read the LEDs, and adequate space
around and behind the switch for cabling, power connections, and ventilation. The AC power cord can reach from the power outlet to the utility-panel connector. Airflow around the PE and through the rear vents is unobstructed.
Cabling: Route the cabling to avoid sources of electrical noise, such as radio transmitters, broadcast
amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from
10
C1048P Hardware Description
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.
Dust: Install the PE in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign conductive material
(such as metal flakes from construction activities). Cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers in the switch, can draw dust and other particles causing contaminant buildup inside the chassis, which can result in system malfunction.

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.
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.
Reduced air flow — Install the port extender in the rack so that the front-to-back airflow (I/O ports to PSU) is not obstructed.
12
Installing the Hardware
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.
To install a rack mount tray in a 4-post rack, follow the instructions provided with the tray kit. Decide on the desired height to mount the switch in the rack. Position the tray at that height and tighten it to the rack posts using the screws shipped with the tray (items 1 to 4 in Figure 5).
Figure 5. Example of a Mount Rack Tray

Installing the C1048P in a Rack

You can install the C1048P in a 1 RU 4-post front-rack or 1 RU 2-post (flush and center) rack configuration. Although the procedure in this section describes C1048P installation in a 1 RU 2-post front-rack configuration, follow the same steps to install a C1048P in a 1 RU 4-post rack.
WARNING: Never mount the C1048P in a rack that is suspended under a table or desk, or attached to a wall.
Installing the Hardware
13
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. Secure the bracket (item 3 in Figure 6) to the chassis by tightening the screws (item 2 in Figure 6)
provided with the mount bracket.
Figure 6. Attaching Mount Brackets to the C1048P
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to attach the left rack-mount bracket on the C1048P.
4. Mount the C1048P into a 48.26 cm (19 inch) rack. Align the holes on each bracket flange with the
holes on a rack post.
5. Secure the C1048P to the rack using the rack bolts (provided with the mount brackets) or cage nuts
and cage-nut bolts with washers (provided with the rack). Tighten the bolts on the bottom of each bracket flange first; then tighten the bolts on top (item 1 in Figure 7).

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

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.
NOTE: If you are installing a stack of C1048Ps, assemble and cable the stack before powering it up. When you power up a stack for the first time, the C1048P units receive the provisioned configuration from the parent C9010. A stack master unit is elected based on the highest MAC address. The master unit may occupy any location in the stack. The Stack Master LED on the front panel is illuminated on the master unit.
NOTE: Although individual C1048P stack members do not require a separate uplink to a parent C9010, Dell Networking recommends connecting more than one C1048P stack unit to the C9010 for redundancy. For more information, see

Creating a C1048P Stack

Create a C1048P stack by connecting adjacent units using the mini-SAS stack ports on the back panel. Figure 8 shows the switches connected in a ring topology, the recommended topology for a C1048P stack.
1. Install the C1048Ps to be stacked in a rack as described in Installing the C1048P in a Rack.
2. Starting with the C1048P at the top of the stack, connect a mini-SAS cable from a stack port on its
back panel into one of the stack ports on the C1048P directly below it in the rack. You must separately order mini-SAS cables. If necessary, use a longer (1 meter or 3 meter) mini-SAS cable to connect the C1048Ps.
3. Connect a mini-SAS cable in the other stack port on the second C1048P and into one of the stack
ports on the third C1048P directly below it. Continue from top to bottom until all C1048Ps in the rack are connected with a mini-SAS cable.
4. Connect a mini-SAS cable from the bottom C1048P in the stack to the top C1048P to complete 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.
The bottom mini-SAS port on the middle unit is connected to the top mini-SAS port on the bottom unit.
The bottom mini-SAS port on the bottom unit is connected to the top mini-SAS port on the top unit.

C1048P Standby

A C1048P stack supports a standby or backup unit that assumes the stack master role if the master unit fails. When the system detects a stack-master failure, the C9010 initializes the standby unit and it becomes the stack master. The parent C9010 maintains the running configuration for the stack, which it pushes to all stack units.
When a PE stack first comes up, the master and standby units are chosen based on the MAC address. By default, the unit with the highest MAC address becomes the master; the unit with the second highest MAC address becomes the standby.

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. Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
If you connect to a redundant, external DC power supply, use the Dell Networking MPS1000. Connect the DC power cable from the power supply to the DC receptacle on the back panel.
After you connect the C1048P to a power source, the C1048P boots up. After a successful boot-up, the temperature, power, system status, and fan LEDs display solid green. The fans adjust to an operational speed based on the current traffic load. The SFP+ Link LED displays solid green when the uplink to the parent C9010 is up. The SFP+ Activity LED blinks green when the uplink is transmitting/receiving data.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive for Recovery, Recycle and Reuse of IT and Telecommunications Products

Dell Networking switches are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
Figure 14. The European WEEE Symbol
In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return, recycling and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in EEE.
Dell Networking products, which fall within the scope of the WEEE, are labeled with the crossed-out wheelie-bin symbol, as shown above, as required by WEEE.
For information on Dell Networking product recycling offerings, see the WEEE Recycling instructions on iSupport. For more information, contact the Dell Networking Technical Assistance Center (TAC) (refer to
