C1048P Hardware Description
The Dell Networking C1048P is a stackable Gigabit Ethernet port extender for
campus access deployments. The C1048P is designed to be 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 port extenders 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
C1048P port-extender 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.
