Replacing the Full-Height Bracket with a Low-Prole Bracket

full-height bracket with the low-prole bracket included in your distribution kit. The full-height bracket

is mounted on the front of the controller, the low-prole bracket is mounted on the back of the controller,

as shown in the gure below.

To replace the full-height bracket with the low-prole bracket:

Using a Phillips head screw driver, remove the mounting screws, as shown in Figure 2, then set the

screws aside for use in the next step.
