Middle Atlantic SP-5-8 - Side Panels for Slim-5 8SP Rack
Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic SP-5-8 provides a pair of vented side panels designed for the Slim-5 8-space rack enclosure. Each panel features top and bottom ventilation, recessed lift handles, and internal locking clips for secure attachment. The panels add 5/8" to the overall rack width per side and are constructed from steel with a black powder coat finish. They are sold in pairs and provide a finished, professional exterior to the Slim-5 8SP enclosure.
Product Description
The SP-5-8 side panels complete the enclosure profile of the Middle Atlantic Slim-5 8-space rack, providing vented coverage on both sides to support passive airflow and protect internal rack components. Ventilation openings at the top and bottom of each panel allow heat generated by rack equipment to escape naturally, supporting passive thermal management without requiring additional fan accessories. Recessed lift handles allow the panels to be removed and reinstalled quickly during rack maintenance or equipment changes, reducing service time in the field. Internal locking clips secure the panels to the rack frame without visible external fasteners, maintaining a clean exterior appearance. Each panel adds 5/8" to the overall rack width, which should be accounted for in rack bay or furniture cutout dimensions. The black powder coat finish matches standard Slim-5 rack aesthetics, providing a unified enclosure appearance. The panels are sold in pairs, providing both left and right side coverage in a single purchase. Steel construction ensures the panels maintain their shape and finish over the lifecycle of the installation. This is a required accessory for Slim-5 8SP installations where a fully enclosed rack appearance is specified.
