More About This Product
HotLok white blanking panels are designed to not only seal unused rack space, but there light colour helps reflect light into the aisle.
HotLok White Blanking Panels
HotLok white blanking panels are designed to effectively seal openings in IT equipment racks and control airflow for optimised cooling effectiveness. HotLok blanking panels reduce hotspots and bypass airflow (any air which fails to pass through IT equipment) by preventing equipment exhaust air or hot aisle air from migrating to the conditioned air intake stream at the front of the rack. HotLok blanking panels, from Upsite Technologies, are available in 1U or 2U configurations and are now available in a more reflective white version.
The HotLok white blanking panels are ideal to co-ordinate with white or other light coloured racks for improved aesthetics. In addition, they are engineered to offer light reflectance properties for energy savings by increasing the reflectivity in the server rack, and so reducing the amount of lighting required.
The use of blanking panels plays an important role in an airflow management strategy, and is part of the 4Rs of Airflow Management. They prevent hot exhaust air from circulating back to the front of server racks through open spaces within the equipment mounting frame.
Features & Benefits
Features
- Cantilevered sealing vanes on HotLok blanking panels eliminates the gap between adjoining blanking panels or installed equipment. This provides a seal 29% better than the nearest competitor.
- Tool-free, snap-in installation requires no additional parts or components for installation.
- Built-in, ergonomic finger grips provide an easy pull removal or push install.
- Interlocking design allows secure storage (1U HotLok blanking panels stack 10 high, whilst 2U HotLok blanking panels stack 20 high.
Benefits
- Allows lower temperature air to be delivered to the upper third of the rack, typically the hottest area and most prone to equipment failure.
- Use in Hot and Cold Aisle configurations for low or high density racks.
- Controls airflow that could lead to saved energy by allowing adjustment of cooling unit set points.
- Use in existing racks for optimisation and standardisation.
- HotLok blanking panels are available in 1U and 2U versions and designed for EIA-310-E compliant racks.
