Replacing the Full-Height Bracket with a Low-Profile Bracket
If you are installing your Adaptec RAID controller into a low-profile computer cabinet, replace the original
full-height bracket with the low-profile bracket included in your distribution kit. The full-height bracket
is mounted on the front of the controller, the low-profile bracket is mounted on the back of the controller,
as shown in the figure below.

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 the next step.
