Check and see if this is a SuperMicro server. It looks like it might be.
O, that's a good idea. Any idea how I could confirm this?
Nope :(. It looks like one but you can never be sure.

I think eyeballing might be the only option.

This may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend I do that?

Take some pictures of the thing and show us, maybe?

Well there you go again, with your exceptionally reasonable and well thought out suggestions....
I'll see if I can grab some decent pictures later this afternoon. The servers are in production, sitting on the floor in the bottom of the rack, so it may be a bit tricky. I'll also see if I can grab some measurements while I am at it (stud separation distance).

Deep rack shelf -> place server onto shelf -> Profit!

Earthy quake... server crashes and burns on the floor, or kills admin the room at the time -> Loss and Lawsuite!

JB Weld will stop all that nonsense.

Can confirm, everything in my apartment is JB'd to a wall, floor or ceiling. (joking, though only about JB weld... we prefer screws)

Ran into the same issue. Ended up just buying a shelf.

Pictures is about all that you can do.

Pictures would be nice. You can get a deep shelf and use some plastic/metal strapping from a hardware store to keep it in place. Won't look the prettiest but I've see that strapping do some amazing things.

Ok, let's see if this works....
The images are here

I'm tempted to say a generic fixed rail set would work. It looks awfully similar to a SuperMicro server. No warranties or anything on this statement of course.
