To replace the full-height bracket with the low-profile bracket:
1 Remove the full-height bracket from the controller board. The full-height bracket is
installed on the front side of the controller, with the mounting screws inserted from the
back of the controller, as shown in the Figure 1. Using a Phillips head screw driver, remove
the mounting screws, as shown in Figure 2, then set the screws aside for use in Step 2.
2 Attach the low-profile bracket to the controller board. The low-profile bracket is installed
on the back side of the controller, with the mounting screws inserted from the front of the
controller, as shown the Figure 3.
Insert the screws through the holes on the front of the controller, then fasten the screws to
the bracket with a Phillips screw driver.
Caution:
The mount points on the low-profile bracket have a smooth or flat side and a
raised side that looks like a spacer (see Figure 3). Be sure to install the bracket with
the flat side against the controller PCB and the raised side facing away from the PCB.
Caution: The torque on the mounting screws should be a maximum of 3.0-4.0 lbf-in to
avoid deformation. Be sure that the controller is not bent after attaching the low-profile
bracket to the controller board.
