It looks like they got dropped in transit. I've seen 1/2U's look like this before.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 8510 Controllers
Yes, they work. They didn't appear to have this bowing when we installed them. I'll examine the other 4 that we have in the warehouse.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 8510 Controllers
I take back what I originally said. Once I saw your pictures, I checked ours again. I can see a similar bow in ours, but it appears a little less predominate than yours. I have not seen any negative effects, nor did I notice anything till you mentioned it and I saw your pictures. Interesting.
