  • Patent number: 10321601
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for restricting air flow through an electronics enclosure. The apparatus may include a panel having at least one edge adapted to be secured to a surface of the electronics enclosure to thus place the panel in a path of a cooling air flow flowing through a cardcage portion of the enclosure. The panel may have a footprint that at least substantially fills an opening through which said cooling air flow flows through said cardcage portion of the enclosure. The panel may have a plurality of openings so that the panel reduces a volume of a cooling air flow flowing through the panel by a predetermined desired degree, and thus reduces a volume of the air flow through the cardcage to a desired volume.
