SCHROFF Side Panel 6HE 355mm for chassis/enclosure, model 26.15.8707 (MPN 26.15.8707)

SCHROFF Side Panel 6HE 355mm is a replacement side panel designed for 6U (6HE) rack chassis and enclosures with a depth of 355 mm. Produced to match the form factor of compatible SCHROFF and industry-standard enclosures, the panel provides enclosed coverage for internal components while preserving access for installation and maintenance. The panel contributes to mechanical protection, helps maintain proper airflow paths inside the chassis and supports grounding continuity when fitted according to the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions.

Advantages

The side panel is manufactured from metal with dimensions suited to 6HE, 355 mm deep chassis, offering a precise fit that reduces vibration and movement of internal modules. It restores the original mechanical shielding of the enclosure, minimises dust ingress and helps maintain predictable cooling characteristics. Installation and removal are straightforward, allowing quick access to internal electronics during servicing. The panel is compatible with standard mounting points found in SCHROFF enclosures, ensuring secure attachment and electrical continuity where required.

Suitable for

• Replacement or spare panel for 6U (6HE) rack chassis with 355 mm depth
• Industrial electronics cabinets and test equipment racks
• Server and network enclosures requiring side coverage for airflow management
• Maintenance and repair operations where original side panels are missing or damaged

Key specifications

• Height: 6HE (6U) form factor
• Depth compatibility: 355 mm chassis/enclosure
• Material: metal construction for structural protection and shielding
• Surface finish: factory-applied coating to resist corrosion and wear
• Mounting: designed to align with standard enclosure mounting points for secure fastening

How to use

Turn off and isolate power to the chassis before installing or removing the side panel. Align the panel with the enclosure’s side opening and engage the mounting points, then secure with the appropriate fasteners specified by the enclosure manufacturer. Ensure any grounding connections are restored according to the chassis grounding scheme. After installation, verify that doors, panels and internal components move and connect freely and that airflow paths are unobstructed.

Usage recommendations

Use the panel as a direct replacement for missing or damaged side panels on compatible 6HE, 355 mm deep enclosures. Follow the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions for fasteners and grounding procedures, and perform a visual inspection after installation to confirm proper fit and airflow. Replace any corroded or deformed fasteners to maintain mechanical integrity and electrical continuity.
