Summary:A bezel assembly apparatus is provided for use with a computer component, such as a direct access storage device (DASD). The bezel assembly apparatus includes a bezel base and a standoff including cooperating bezel base and a standoff mating portions. The cooperating bezel base and standoff mating portions include a cooperating pattern for implementing installation with low force and low stress mating engagement. The cooperating pattern includes a hex torque pattern, providing a locational fit for the standoff, holding the standoff in place during assembly. The hex torque pattern provides six managed stress micro planes that hold the standoff in place during assembly process.
