Waste of money. Spend it on a 3560. Err… don’t bother with a 6500. Waste of money. Spend it on a 3560.

Can you define pulling out ? Not sure what you mean there. Sorry about that, I just wasn’t sure what you meant. Can you define pulling out ? Not sure what you mean there.

When I attempted to mount the shelf it kept pulling out. Yes I have worked with cage nuts before :)

They're a little cheap, and tend to pop out the back if I'm not careful. I bought the 2U HD rack. I have been pondering buying the longer support legs for it that allow you to convert it to a 4 post later on, but so far I've had no need. I'm wondering.. have you worked with cage nuts before? The only reason I can see them comming out, is if they're used improperly. You should attach them from behind the face, and then when you tighten the nut is pulled against the back side of the rack... Not sure how to explain. Let me post a <a href="/stuff/misc/racknuts.jpg" rel="lightbox[552]" rel="nofollow">picture</a>! Thanks for posting a question ! I'm glad to hear from any of my readers!! Hey Charles,

Also is the rack 2 or 4 post? I bought the C28U from skeletek (after seeing it on your blog :). Liking it, but was having an issue mounting a shelf. I see you have 2U gear mounted, so not sure why just my shelf is pulling off. It's not as heavy as the cisco gear you have mounted. Thx. Tony,
