Rack side panel SCHROFF Pentair X sidewall Type F 3U 295 mm

SCHROFF Pentair X sidewall Type F 3U 295 mm is a metal rack side panel designed for 19" enclosures. With a 3U height and 295 mm depth, the side panel fits compatible Pentair X frames and provides a rigid enclosure boundary that protects mounted equipment and helps manage internal airflow and cabling. The panel is intended for use where structural support, equipment protection and tidy internal arrangement are required in server rooms, network cabinets and industrial racks.

Advantages

The sidewall delivers stable mechanical support to installed units and reduces the risk of accidental contact with components. Its standardized 3U height and 19" compatibility simplify integration into existing racks. By closing the enclosure side, the panel helps channel airflow and limit dust ingress, while providing a surface that can be used to route and secure cables. The rigid construction contributes to overall rack integrity and equipment safety.

Suitable for

• Closing and protecting the side of 19" server and network racks
• Organizing and securing internal cabling and small components
• Improving mechanical stability of mounted equipment in industrial enclosures
• Environments where controlled airflow and dust reduction are needed

Key specifications

• Compatibility: 19" rack enclosures (Pentair X series)
• Height: 3U
• Depth/length: 295 mm

How to use

Install the sidewall by aligning it with the enclosure frame at the appropriate 3U position and secure it using the rack’s supplied fasteners or mounting points. Ensure the panel is seated flush with adjacent panels or equipment to maintain enclosure rigidity and proper airflow paths. Route cables along the inner face of the panel and secure them with cable ties or clips as required. Follow the rack manufacturer’s instructions for fastening torque and sequence to avoid distortion.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your Pentair X enclosure model and confirm the required 3U position before installation. Use appropriate grounding methods when required in equipment cabinets and avoid obstructing ventilation openings of mounted devices.
