There are 5 (125x96 inch) positions at and aft of the main-deck cargo door (MCD) arranged with 2 x 2 side-by-side and 1 centre position at the far aft. They are, for obvious reasons, usually the first to be off-loaded and the last to be loaded. You can load just about anything there, including 16ft ULDs, except restricted commodities which need to be accessible to the crew during flight.
