APC server rack with threaded holes instead of cage nuts - eviltoast

Just picked up an APC 48u server rack. There were no pictures of it in the post and I did not notice until I got it home and set up, that the rack rails have threaded holes instead of square cage nut holes. I can’t seem to determine the thread size and pitch, and have a thread gauge coming. Until then, does anyone know anything about this? The people I grabbed it from had used self tapping machine screws and drove them in with an impact wrench. Is this what APC had intended, or is there some $300 proprietary screw I have to buy from them?

    This is honestly the answer I was looking for. Someone who has this in service. Thank you so much. I’ve seen these bolts on APCs website, I was thinking it was for cutting the powder coat but wanted to make sure. Thank you again!
