a. Remove any tie straps that secure the wires and cables in the wiremat.
b. Free the wires and cables from the other wires and cables in the
wiremat.
c. Ensure that the wires and cables are positioned so that they will not
catch on other wires and cables during the rail removal. Use tie straps
if necessary.
17. Use the 4-mm hex wrench to loosen (but not remove) the shoulder screw
from the power supply end of the rail.
18. Remove the shoulder screw from the other end of the rail.
19. Carefully remove the defective rail:
a. Check again to ensure that the wires and cables that connect to the rail
are ready for removal with the rail.
b. Angle the rail toward the floor, and slowly slide it down and out of the
cabinet. Be careful not to damage any wires as you remove the rail and
attached cables.
20. If necessary, cover the air slot with a slot cover. Two #3 Phillips screws
hold the slot cover in place.
CAUTION
The edges of the digital ground plane are sharp. Be careful not
to cut or otherwise injure your hand on them or on the power
connectors.
CAUTION
To prevent a top rail from falling when
you remove the shoulder screws,
ensure that you (or a partner) hold the
rail in place while you remove the
screws.
