FIGURE 4-4).
The size of the screws varies, depending on your particular rack.

plates to further secure the server to the rack (
FIGURE 4-1).
The rear plates attach to the rear of the post and to one of the three eyelets on each
side bracket, depending on the thickness of the post.

one of the three positions on the rear plate (
FIGURE 4-5).
The position varies depending on the thickness of the rail in the rack. For
example,
FIGURE 4-5 shows where you would install the screw for the middle rack
