Mainly you just screw them down to the bed. Actually, you don't even have to screw them down, but if you don't it will probably slide around unless there's a ton of stuff in it.

If you do a cross the bed version, there are J shaped bolts that grab the lip of the top of the bed and just put nuts on and tighten down. No need to drill holes.

I drilled a hole through my toolbox and through the rails and bolted it in. I had the J-shaped clips but they didn't work too well but my toolbox is heavy and has a lot of stuff in it.

It is either the above mentioned j shaped bolts or just regular hex bolts that will bolt it to the bed. Normally 2-4 bolts.
