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.

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 cannot move so that it interferes with rail

the slot. (Necessary during an upgrade.)

screw will help hold the rail in place during the installation.

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 during

the rail and the card cage.
