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.

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).

CAUTION: Make sure that the rack bolts provided with the mounting brackets fit the

threaded holes in the rack.
