1. Unpack the DX150-KIT and compare it with the Illustrated Parts Breakdown shown in
Figure 1 for an overview of the entire assembly to verify that the kit is complete. A
#2 Phillips screwdriver is required to complete the installation.
2. If installing the DX150-KIT into a carrier unit that already has an installed drive,
remove the power, I/O and ID select cables from the drive. Remove the drive from
the carrier.
3. Place the Data Express carrier unit on a soft, clean surface to protect the finish.
Choose a suitable area that allows ample working space around the unit.
4. Remove the handle and replace it with the new low-profile handle included in the kit,
as shown in Figure 2.
Fully extend the existing handle and carefully remove the two (2) #6-32 x .230"

the new low profile handle (new handle uses two filament washers per screw).
With the handle fully
