Installing The C1048P In A Rack - Dell C1048P Getting Started Manual

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.
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.
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.
