Hello William, Did you have to install the 8510s into a two post rack?
One solution we deployed for a similar issue was to deploy a 2 post to 4 post conversion kit. This required that we place a second rack a couple of feet behind the original rack and then installed the conversion kit parts to join the two racks together as one unit. We could then co-locate the handful of 4 post devices in the same rack as the 2 post network equipment. One vendor of this type of 2 port to 4 post conversion kit is Kendall Howard. We used their 4-Piece Rack Conversion Kit SKU: 1927-3-004-00 http://www.kendallhoward.com/4-Piece-Rack-Conversion-Kit.html Hope this helps, Jim Young Network Engineer Georgia State University Atlanta, GA 30303 office: 404-413-4452 mobile: 678-613-5514 email: [email protected] From: <Williams>, Matthew <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, January 16, 2015 10:43 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 8510 Controllers Good morning all, We've got 8 Cisco 8510 controllers that we are getting ready to deploy and we've run into a very strange issue. The 8510 controller is a 1 RU server-like form factor that requires a 4-post rack. We've racked 4 of them and all 4 of them are literally bowing at the join between the "board" and power supplies. Has anyone else with 8500s seen this?
