To perform this upgrade, you will need a P1 Phillips screwdriver, a 2.5mm hex driver, a pair of clippers, and your LulzBot TAZ 4 or 5 3D Printer.
You will also need one LulzBot TAZ 4-5 Complete Heat Bed Harness.
Turn the printer around so that the back side of the machine is facing you.
Using clippers, remove the zip tie securing the external bed harness to the bed plate.
Disconnect both the bed power and bed thermistor connections at the bed.
Disconnect the external bed harness from the control box by twisting the locking ring counter-clockwise.
Using the P1 Phillips screwdriver, remove all four screws securing the internal bed harness to the control box enclosure.
Rotate the printer so that the machine's left side is facing you.
Using the 2.5mm hex driver, remove all four M3x12 fasteners securing the control box cover to the control box.
The control box case fan does not need to be disconnected from the RAMBo.
Pull the internal bed harness out of the hole in the control box exterior.
