## Claims

### Claim 1

A mounting bracket for mounting a second device electrically connected to a first device on right and left support posts of a rack along with right and left guide rails on which the first device is mounted, the mounting bracket comprising:
a right mounting part that includes a first screw hole, is fastened to the right support post along with the right guide rail via the first screw hole with the use of a first screw, and has a shape not to contact a third screw that fastens the right guide rail to the right support post; and
a left mounting part that includes a second screw hole, is fastened to the left support post along with the left guide rail via the second screw hole with the use of a second screw, and has a shape not to contact a fourth screw that fastens the left guide rail to the left support post.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mounting bracket according to claim 1, wherein a height of the first screw hole and a height of the second screw hole are different from each other.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mounting bracket according to claim 1,
wherein one of the right mounting part and the left mounting part is screwed to a side face of the second device, and another of the right mounting part and the left mounting part is opposite to another side face of the second device via a cable arrangement domain which arranges a cable connected between the first device and the second device, and
wherein the mounting bracket includes a side face mounting part screwed to the another side face of the second device, and an upper cover that is fixed to the side face mounting part and covers the cable from above.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mounting bracket according to claim 1, wherein the right mounting part and the left mounting part are configured as independent separate brackets.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The mounting bracket according to claim 1, further comprising:
a bottom part on which the second device is mounted;
wherein the right mounting part extends from a right end of the bottom part and the left mounting part extends from a left end of the bottom part.

### Claim 6

A system, comprising:
a rack;
a pair of guide rails that are screwed to a front face and a rear face of the rack with a plurality of screws;
an electronic device mounted on the front face and the rear face of the rack;
a mounting bracket that mounts the electronic device on the rack;
wherein the mounting bracket includes:
a first mounting part that includes a first screw hole for screwing the electronic device to one of a right side and a left side of the rack with a first screw, and a first cutout that is formed at a position of a second screw fixing one of the guide rails to the one of the right side and the left side of the rack;
a second mounting part that includes a second screw hole for screwing the electronic device to another of the right side and the left side of the rack with a third screw, and a second cutout that is formed at the position of the second screw fixing the another of the guide rails to another of the right side and the left side of the rack;
wherein the electronic device is fixed to the rack along with the guide rails with the first screws and the third screws.
