Explanation

Blanking panels are used to fill empty spaces in server racks. By blocking airflow gaps between servers, blanking panels help to direct airflow properly, ensuring that the cold air from the cold aisle is not wasted and that the hot air from the hot aisle is contained. This is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of cooling systems in a hot/cold aisle configuration.
