Removing the Card Stack

To remove the card stack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws of the two alignment tabs that hold the wiring card to the extrusion.

Step 2 Loosen the 14 Wedge Loks that are holding the card stack in place using a 3/32-inch hex blade to release the clamping mechanism.

Note After loosening the screws for the Wedge Loks, the locks sometimes do not relax. The screws just back out. You need to lightly tap on the screw heads to relax the locks. The tension bracket screws for the wedge locks (seen at the edge of the card) are not very strong and can break very easily.
