Side panel SCHROFF 24566131 for 3U chassis, depth 355 mm

Side panel SCHROFF 24566131 for 3U chassis, depth 355 mm is a replacement side covering designed to fit 3U enclosures with a chassis depth of 355 mm. Manufactured by SCHROFF, the panel provides a precise mechanical fit to maintain enclosure integrity, protect internal components from dust and mechanical impact, and preserve proper airflow paths in industrial and server environments.

Advantages

The SCHROFF side panel is manufactured to suit the dimensional and mounting requirements of compatible 3U chassis, offering consistent alignment with front and rear mounting points. Its rigid construction helps shield electronics from physical damage and reduces dust ingress. The panel maintains enclosure stability and supports correct airflow management when used as part of a complete chassis assembly. Designed for OEM compatibility, it enables direct replacement without modification.

Suitable for

• Repairing or replacing damaged side covers on 3U chassis with 355 mm depth
• Industrial racks and server cabinets requiring OEM-compatible side panels
• Electronic housings where dust protection and mechanical shielding are needed
• Maintenance and refurbishment of embedded or rack-mount systems

Key specifications

• Form factor: Side panel for 3U enclosure
• Compatible chassis depth: 355 mm
• Material: Rigid metal construction (manufactured for protective and structural use)
• Fit: OEM-compatible dimensional fit for SCHROFF 3U chassis
• Function: Dust protection, mechanical shielding, and structural support for chassis side

How to use

Align the side panel with the chassis mounting points on the selected 3U enclosure, ensuring the panel orientation matches the original cover. Secure the panel using the original fasteners or manufacturer-recommended screws, tightening to the appropriate torque for the chassis material. Confirm that seals or gaskets (if present on the enclosure) are properly seated to maintain dust protection and intended airflow. After installation, verify that no cabling or internal components are obstructed by the panel and that rack mounting and front-to-rear clearances remain within system specifications.

Usage recommendations

Use the side panel in environments that match the chassis design limits; avoid exposing the panel to corrosive chemicals or prolonged moisture. When replacing covers, retain original fasteners or use equivalent hardware to maintain grounding and mechanical integrity. For optimal protection and cooling, ensure ventilation openings and internal cable routing remain unobstructed after installation.
