I bought some of the Supermicro MCP-290-00053-0N Quick Rail Set for Chassis SC213/216/823M/825/825M/826/835/836/846/847/936/etc... used. They are all Revision B and did not come with screws. Everything fits well, but the self-locking tabs on the inner rails are bent outward a little, and while pulling the server out of the rack, I have to be careful or the server will leap off the inner rail. This can be solved by using a single screw to bind the inner rail onto the chassis.
Based upon this Ebay auction, the proper product to purchase is MCP-410-00007-0N. This bag is $15 and I only require two of the screws: flat head M4x6. I took a look on Ebay to see if there is a cheaper option. All of the screws up for sale are countersunk and have a head that sticks out a lot. I believe the Supermicro screws are mostly flat on the top and bottom of the head, except for the very outer portion that is countersunk to grab on to the very thin rails. Think "pancake" style.
Can someone confirm/deny if traditional M4x6 countersunk screws will work to hold on the inner rail and not get snagged by the outer rail mechanism?
