The mounting holes are the same dimensions. But the server chassis must
be designed for dog ear mounting. Many/most today are designed for
slide rail use, meaning the dog ears alone aren't strong enough to
support the chassis. Most generic 4U and larger chassis can be dog ear
mounted just fine. 2U/3U units will tend to bend/sag where ears attach
to the chassis, and nobody should ever consider dog ear mounting a 1U
chassis.
