HotLok® 1U Blanking Panel with built-in Temperature Indicator Strip

HotLok® 1U Blanking Panel with built-in Temperature Indicator Strip

1U version of HotLok® blanking panels achieve the following:

• Reduce hot spots 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 third of the cabinet, typically the hottest area and most prone to equipment failure
• Control airflow to save energy by adjusting cooling unit setpoints

Key Features of HotLok® Blanking Panels

• Snap-spring design offers durable, 99%+ effective seal
• Tool-free, snap-in installation and easy-pull removal for any EIA-310-E standard openings using the ergonomically designed finger grips, which prevent injury to fingernails and knuckles
• Cantilevered sealing vanes eliminate the gap between adjoining HotLok® blanking panels or with installed equipment
• 1U HotLok® blanking panels stack 10 high and 2U HotLok® blanking panels stack 20 high for easy storage and ready availability

Applications of HotLok® Blanking Panels

• Use 1U and 2U versions on cabinets with standard 19" rail widths
• Use with any standard EIA-310-E openings
• Use in Hot and Cold Aisle layout for low or high heat density cabinets
• Use in existing cabinets for optimisation and standardisation

The KoldLok® Temperature Indicator Strip is a liquid crystal thermometer with an acrylic self-adhesive backing that quickly and accurately measures the air-intake temperature of IT equipment. The KoldLok® Temperature Indicator Strip indicates if the air temperature is within acceptable limits based on the standards established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and equipment manufacturers. The Temperature Indicator Strip should be used with IT equipment where the potential for hot spots or other heat-related issues exists. The Temperature Indicator Strip can be attached to the front surface of a perforated door on a server rack.

KoldLok® Temperature Indicator Strip Range

The KoldLok® Temperature Indicator Strip has both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scacles.

• Celsius Scale: 10°C to 39°C in increments of 1°C
• Fahrenheit Scale: 50°F to 102°F in increments of 2°F

KoldLok® Temperature Indicator Strip Limits

• Blue: Optimal operating range based on recommendations from ASHRAE
• Yellow: Acceptable operating range based on equipment manufacturers' recommendations for Class 1 IT equipment
• Red: Outside acceptable operating range, indicates a definite hot spot above 32°C or 90°F or potential for condensation below 15°C or 59°F, either of which may result in equipment failure.

KoldLok® Temperature Indicator Strip Sensitivity

• The KoldLok® Temperature Indicator Strip is accurate to within +/- 1°C
