    Is the bracket needed for backplane swap on CSE-826?

    The chassis came with BPN-SAS-826El1 but there was no metal bracket installed with it. The backplane I bought has one, but the screws securing the old backplane aren't long enough to secure the assembly. Can I go without the metal bracket or is that a bad idea?
