Purpose:

The HotLok® Blanking Panel is a snap-in blanking panel that provides a 99.97+%+ effective
seal in IT equipment cabinets. The state-of-the-art technology, designed for both 1U and 2U
openings, controls airflow for optimized cooling effectiveness.

HotLok Blanking Panel is Upsite's latest green solution for energy savings and reducing the
carbon footprint of data centers.

Both 1U- and 2U-configured versions achieve the following:

- Reduce hotspots and bypass airflow by preventing equipment exhaust air or hot-aisle air
from migrating to the conditioned air-intake stream at the front of the cabinet
- Deliver lower temperature conditioned air to the upper one-third of the cabinet, typically
the hottest area and most prone to equipment failure
- Control airflow to save energy by adjusting cooling unit setpoints
