2 DX150-ZIPKIT Installation
1. Unpack the DX150-ZIPKIT 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-ZIPKIT 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.

shown in Figure 2.
Fully extend the existing handle and carefully remove the two (2) #6-32 x .230" retaining

profile handle (new handle uses two filament washers per screw).
