Explanation of Extra Fences on Quantile Box Plot?

When I generate a Box Plot of Box Type "Quantile" in Graph Builder, I get a plot that has 4 fences on either side of the quartile box. But on the JMP web page for quantile box plots, there are only 3 fences on either side of the quartile box - 90th / 97.5th / max, or 10th / 2.5th / min. So - for these quantile box plots with 4 fences on either side, what quantiles do the fences represent?

The document does seem to be a bit out of date. By looking at the quantiles from the distribution platform it looks like you get minimum, 0.5, 2.5, 10 and 90, 97.5, 99.5, and max. These are the quantiles listed from the distribution platform and they match the graphs that I am getting from Graph Builder.
