Installing the storage shelf bezels

Each of the two drawers in a 5U84 storage shelf has a bezel which needs to be installed.

To install storage shelf bezels

  1. Be sure that both of the drawers are firmly and evenly installed into the shelf.
  2. Locate the two bezels that ship with each storage shelf.
  3. As you stand in front of a storage shelf drawer place the bezel against the right side of the drawer.
  4. Align the posts on the rear of the bezel with the holes in the front of the drawer.
  5. Angle the left side of the bezel over the left side of the drawer.
  6. Press the bezel into the four holes in the drawer.
  7. Use a 2mm Hex screwdriver to secure the bezels with the four screws for each drawer.
  8. Use a screwdriver with a Torx T-20 bit to lock the drawers.

    The red arrow in each lock points to the center of the drawer if the lock is not engaged. Rotate the locks counterclockwise to engage them.
