Re: [cobalt-users] Mounting the RaQ3i

["WebFusion System Administrator" <mike.l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

We too have noticed this problem with mounting many Raqs in a cabinet...
What we tend to do is leave a 1-hole gap every 10 Raqs, which means we get
40 Raqs per cab without too much difficulty.  It's still annoying, though
;-)
