Attaching the storage shelf bezel

Use the following procedure to attach the storage shelf bezel after you install the 5250 Storage Shelf in the rack.

To attach the storage shelf bezel

  1. Remove the bezel from its packaging.

    Note:

    Ensure the end caps that cover the storage shelf control panel on the left and the blank panel on the right are not installed. The bezel cannot be attached if the end caps are installed on the panels.

  2. With the front of the storage shelf bezel facing you, place the bezel over the front panel of the storage shelf.

    The bezel should cover the left control panel assembly and the right panel assembly.

  3. With the bezel in position, gently press it onto the front panel of the storage shelf.

    The bezel is fully seated and correctly installed when it snaps into place on the front panel of the storage shelf.
