Must-Have Server Rack Accessories
We created a list of server rack accessories that will help keep you sane, organized or make life easier for your team to access and maintain your network equipment. The most common standard server rack width is 19 inches; that being the case, nearly all our accessories are designed to fit a 19-inch rack. Most rack-mounted equipment, especially servers, have a mounting width of 19 inches from filler panels and drawers to shelves and power strips. We have a wide range of options – and many of them ship the same day.
Server Rack Trays
Server rack trays are sleek but sturdy so they are perfect for a variety of applications -- from commercial and military to corporate or small office use. Our heavy duty design is one of the most robust pull-out keyboard trays on the market and is built to last. The keyboard and touchpad mouse simply slide out when needed to provide quick and easy access to your network.

Rackmount Blanking Panels or Filler Panels
Installing rackmount blanking panels (also known as filler panels) is a simple, cost-effective way to manage airflow properly. If your open or closed frame rack has some empty slots, blanking panels are needed to maximize cooling efficiency. Improper cooling can lead to thermal damage.
Top-rated Filler Panels
To keep servers cool, the main goal is to get as much cool air as possible through the front of the server and keep hot air contained in the back. So, when cold air flows toward your server, you want to block off other possible entries. Blocking panels eliminate the open space and block off those other entries to help keep cold and hot air separated.
Blanking or filler panels are available in many sizes, from 1U to 6U. One of the lowest cost accessories you can purchase for your server rack, blanking panels help with cooling and give your rack a cleaner, organized appearance, and support the mounting rails.
Server Rack Ventilation Fan
The primary purpose of adding a horizontal rackmount fan to a server rack or cabinet is to break up any hot spot that might form in space – typically where there is a lack of ventilation.
Because servers constantly run, that empty space can maintain high temperatures that affect equipment performance.
Best Server Rack Fan
So, if that space at the top of your rack feels hotter than other areas, consider a top panel rack fan instead of a filler or blanking panel. This helps push cool air towards that spot while separating from the hot air. Standard server rack mount fans are 550 CFM (cubic foot per minute) – and ours is 0 RU, so it doesn’t take up valuable space in your server rack cabinet.
2 Post Rack Adapter / Conversion Kit
A 2-post rack that only allows center mounting is not compatible for use with servers. But if you have a 2-post rack and want to mount a server, you don’t need to buy a new 4-post rack. Instead, pick up our 2-post conversion kit. It allows you to upgrade any 2-post rack to a 4-post rack with an adjustable depth of 24-40 inches.

Cable Management Bars
Cable management products may be classified as accessories, but they are necessary for organizing all the cables needed to run your network equipment.
There are a lot of different products and options to manage cable, but they ultimately perform two functions. Horizontal cable management bars are used to route cables to and from equipment. Vertical cable management bars organize cables traveling up and down your server racks. As long as both needs are met, you have what you need to keep your cables organized. Just don’t forget the zip ties to keep groups of cables together.

For ultimate flexibility and functionality, the 1U D-Ring cable management kit allows installers and network technicians to manage all types of cables easily. With more than 40 configurations, it is easy to manage cables vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. This kit eliminates the need for dozens of other cable management brackets. It really can do it all.
Server Rack Drawer
With rackmount drawers, you can store stuff you use for maintenance inside the rack itself. From extra cables and equipment manuals to hard drives, keyboards, cage nut tools, or thumb drives, your technicians will appreciate the convenience of having these items nearby when they need them.

The Equipment Found in a Server Rack
The server rack design may be rather basic, but the equipment housed inside a server rack can process an immense amount of complex information.
Understandably, computer servers are the priority here. And there are various types of server racks to keep the server racks and network equipment cool and secure. Housing all servers within a data center’s racks allows the business to find and fix problems more efficiently. Computer servers can vary in style and size, but they’re necessary for data storage, application operation, etc. If there is an accessory or part you need but are not sure of the server rack parts name, give one of our specialists a call.
