how to install Lenovo ThinkSystem 1U Security Bezel

• Prepare the rack: Ensure the rack is stable, power down the affected equipment if required by your site's security policy, and verify there is an accessible 19" mounting space for 1U height.
• Remove existing bezel (if applicable): If a bezel is already installed, carefully remove it following your facility's maintenance procedures to access the mounting points.

• Secure mounting screws: Insert and tighten the four corner screws or appropriate mounting hardware to securely attach the bezel to the rack rails. Avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation.
• Engage the lock: Once the bezel is mounted, close the front panel and engage the keyed lock to secure access. Keep the key in a secure location and test that the bezel unlocks smoothly without obstruction.
• Verify operation: Confirm that the bezel sits flush with the rack face, that the front indicators remain visible where designed, and that there is no undue interference with adjacent equipment or cooling paths.
• Documentation and checks: Record the installation in your asset management system and perform a final check for clearance around cables and any adjacent ports to ensure ongoing airflow and service accessibility.
