3750s always had the cheapest of housings, 2924s and 2950s suffered
from the same. Interestingly enough, 3560s are quite ok, but that
could be due to their being a bit lighter.

7301 had the exact same case as the 7201 (in fact, 7401 had the
same housing, too) but was not as deep and quite a bit lighter
(power supply in the front) and didn't suffer from tumbling down
the rack.

My solution: Cable ties to a screw... (also helps with 1RU F5
BigIPs which have adequate housing but are much too deep and too heavy).

Yours,
