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.

No, we installed them in a 4 post rack.

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

Hope this helps,

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?

Respectfully,
