A rhetorical question: why does cisco rack mount equipment need a crowbar to install? Would it really be SO difficult to make the cases 2mm narrower so that when the mounting brackets are fitted they slide into the rack rather than having to be forced?
Mild steel is a wonderful engineering material characterised by its ability to gracefully deform under stress, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy watching it do so.
A rhetorical answer. We need to ensure our products offer maximum value, so we fill them up with cool stuff, and make them as wide as the spec allows, for maximum cool stuff capacity. You could of course mount the brackets the other way round, so that the bracket "L" did not need to be "inside" the rack. This is mentioned in Wide area Network course 41B, subsection BGP/4, subsection GSR12000, subsection IP over Sonet, subsection brackets. To get this information you would have had to attend several prerequisite courses, Basic routers, WAN Networking, IP WAN networking, and passed your CCIE in several areas before this is revealed. I aopologise on behalf of the company for this training oversight. We clearly need to moved the seciton on hammers and screwdrivers nearer the front. R
Mumble.
