Purpose
The HotLok
®
 Blanking Panel with Upsite Temperature Strip is a snap-in blanking panel that 
provides a 99.97+% effective seal in IT equipment cabinets and helps you identify hotspots 
within minutes of installation. The cabinet temperatures are indicated in colored-coded 
ranges, depending on location of temperature strip panel. The state-of-the-art technology, 
designed for both 1U and 2U openings, controls airflow for optimized cooling effectiveness. 
HotLok Blanking Panel with Temperature Strip 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
Identify temperatures within a particular range, accurate to within +/- 1° C:
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 hotspot or  
 

 
potential for condensation, either of which may result in equipment damage or failure
