Know before you buy
By covering empty rack spaces, these panels prevent hot exhaust air from circulating back to the front of your equipment. This forces cool air to flow through your servers rather than bypassing them, which helps maintain optimal operating temperatures.
These panels are designed for standard 19-inch racks. As long as your rack follows the standard EIA-310 mounting hole spacing, they will fit securely.
No, the panels feature a toolless design. They are engineered to snap or attach directly onto the front vertical mounting rails of your rack using the included hardware.
The kit includes four individual panels in 1U, 2U, 4U, and 8U heights. This variety allows you to fill gaps of different sizes throughout your rack configuration.
Yes, they are constructed from heavy-duty cold-rolled steel with a black powder-coat finish. They are built to withstand the rigors of a professional server environment.
