Rail Installation
Do not cut the tie straps on the various cables and wires that connect to the rail.
The bound cables and wires will make it easier for you to insert the rail.
NOTE:
This procedure may require two people. Have the wrench and
screws within reach when you install the upper rails.
1.
Check the new rail for damper function, obvious gasket defects, etc.
Ensure that the dampers are fully open when the interlock is in the
engaged position. Ensure that the damper interlock rod is secured by the
retaining washers and can not move so that it interferes with rail
installation.
2.
If necessary, use a #3 Phillips screwdriver to remove the slot cover from
the slot. (Necessary during an upgrade.)
3.
Ensure that the shoulder screw near the power supplies is installed.
Tighten it until fully inserted, then unscrew it 1 revolution. This screw
will help hold the rail in place during the installation.
4.
Ensure that the wires and cables on the new rail are not in positions that
will interfere with rail installation or cause wire damage during the
installation. If another person is available, have that person guide the
wires through the slot in the following step. If another person is not
available, you may use tape or tie straps to secure the wires and cables so
that they will not get damaged.
5.
Use the following procedure to position the new rail in the card cage:
a. Hold the rail at a 15 degree angle (approximately) with the power
supply end raised and with the module insertion end closer to the floor.
b. Slide the rail onto the screw you tightened in
c. Push the plunger on the power supply end of the rail against the brace
(crossbar) in the module box.
NOTE:
Ensure that the plunger does not slip below the brace.
d. While you press the plunger against the brace, route the torus cables,
clock wires, WACS connection, and boundary scan wires up and
through the slot cutout.
