Good comments Mike! Khalid, another you might want to do is to mount your Cat5K (assuming you have one) at the bottom of the rack, with the rack kit placed on the cat5k as far forward as possible. This will make your cat5k extend pretty far back. Push the rack all the way back against a wall, with the back end of the cat5k resting against the wall. This will help stabilize your rack quite a bit.
One other thing, when you put 2500s in your rack, make sure to leave some space between them as their fans are located at the bottom (this is one lesson I learned the hard way). thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 (R&S / Security) Network Learning Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.optsys.net (Cisco hardware) ""Mike Sweeney"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > 3/4 in plywood makes a pretty good base..
