Blanking Panels for Server Racks
Control airflow, improve cooling efficiency, and close unused U spaces with EziBlank’s modular, flame-retardant blanking panels. Tool-free, snap-in installation ensures fast deployment in 19” or 23” racks, helping data centres reduce hotspots, energy waste, and server downtime.
Why Leaving Empty Rack Spaces Is Costing
You Cooling Power
Every unused U-space in your server rack is a hidden airflow leak, inviting hot air recirculation, cooling inefficiencies, and higher energy bills. Without proper airflow management, server racks can suffer from temperature spikes, uneven cooling, and increased fan wear.
EziBlank blanking panels are engineered to eliminate this inefficiency. By sealing open rack units they help maintain a front-to-back cooling pattern that supports hot aisle and cold aisle containment. This supports the protection of IT hardware and reduces the strain on CRAC units and cooling infrastructure.
Whether managing a large-scale data centre or a compact server room, airflow disruption from open rack spaces leads to poor thermal compliance and higher operating costs. Installing blanking panels is a low-cost, high-impact method to restore rack hygiene, protect uptime, and improve airflow performance.

What Makes EziBlank Panels the Smart Choice for Data Centre Cooling
EziBlank panels are trusted globally for their precision-engineered, modular, and reusable design. Unlike traditional metal filler plates, EziBlank blanking panels use flame-retardant ABS construction (UL94-V0), supporting modern thermal safety requirements.
Each panel features a tool-free snap-on mechanism, reducing install time to seconds. They are built to fit standard EIA-310-D compliant 19” and 23” server racks and are available in 1U, 2U, 4U, 6RU, and 10SU sizes.
These panels create an efficient airflow ecosystem that complements cold aisle containment, floor tile layout, and cable grommet planning.
Why EziBlank is different:
- Reusable and tool-less (Universal Catch support included)
- Modular and scalable across all rack types
- Fire-rated and durable ABS construction
- Smooth black finish for uniform rack appearance
- Deployed in government, enterprise, MSP, and colocation environments
EziBlank panels are engineered airflow solutions that reduce thermal hotspots, improve energy efficiency, and maintain uptime, while integrating with existing infrastructure.
Choosing the Right Panel: Sizes, Specs, and Use Case Fit
Selecting the right blanking panel depends on rack type, cooling setup, and available U-space. EziBlank offers a range of panel sizes from 1U to 6RU and supports custom builds for non-standard configurations.
Whether sealing a few U spaces or covering an entire rack, EziBlank panels are rack-compliant and compatible with 19” and 23” frames.
Panel options include:
- Sizes: 1U, 2U, 4U, 6RU, 10SU
- Widths: 19-inch, 23-inch
- Material: Flame-retardant ABS (UL94-V0)
- Finish: Matte black for professional rack aesthetics
- Mounting: Tool-free snap-in with Universal Catch accessories
For high-density data centres, thermal efficiency is a key operational concern. In smaller server rooms, where airflow is more constrained, closing open rack spaces supports improved performance and reduced energy costs.
EziBlank integrates with brush grommets, directional airflow tiles, and containment wall systems, supporting a complete airflow management strategy. For assistance in selecting the right sizes and quantity, support is available.
Blanking Panel Installation Made Simple – No Tools, No Downtime
Installing EziBlank panels requires no tools and no downtime. With a snap-on design, installation takes only seconds and can be completed during live operation, without risk to equipment.
This installation approach is suited for:
- Enterprise data centres requiring thermal compliance
- Colocation environments with modular infrastructure
- IT teams need efficient and fast rack configuration
No screws, no drills, and no impact on structural integrity. Each panel secures into standard U positions, and Universal Catch accessories allow for reconfiguration as needs change.
Installation steps:
- Identify unused U spaces
- Snap the panel into place using the clip design
- Adjust using Universal Catch if necessary
- Verify the panel is seated securely to prevent airflow bypass
Visual guides and downloadable installation instructions are available to support quick deployment. Consistent use of blanking panels improves rack hygiene, enhances airflow paths, and contributes to lower cooling energy usage.
