Fine tolerances
1/16th of an inch. That is the amount that this new rack is too narrow. The MSA20 and MSA1500 just plain will not fit between the uprights. Not going to happen. The fibre switch will fit with painful screeching noises, which I don't count as fitting. Clearly, this rack will have to be RMAed.
Wish I'da known that before I anchored it and got all the rails in. Fooy.
And since I've now seen three different people inspect the rack to see if there is any way to move the upright posts, I'll say this now. No. Not without a sledge hammer. Two of those other rack inspectors recommended a hammer independently of the other, the third had it suggested to him. The upright posts are held in place by horizontal braces that are themselves welded to the frame.
One bloody sixteenth. Bah.
