You wouldn't have a VAX 4000 700a in a BA213, that is an all Q-Bus
chassis. The upright pedestal chassis for a VAX 4000 700a is a BA440.
The rack mount version of that chassis is the BA441. The system in
Will's photo doesn't look like the standard front face of a BA441.
Here's some BA441 photos:

Did DEC make an on its back rack mount version of the BA213?
