Compatible 42U Rack Panel
The Tripp Lite SR42SIDE is a dedicated side panel designed for standard depth 42U server racks. It serves as a direct replacement part or allows an expansion cabinet to be converted back to a fully enclosed unit. The panel integrates with the existing rack structure to maintain physical security and airflow management. It is intended for administrators managing standard depth 42U enclosures.
Secure Locking Operation
The panel features a keyed locking latch that secures the rack side against unauthorised access. This mechanism operates mechanically without electronic components, ensuring consistent function during power interruptions. The lock engages positively when the panel is closed, providing a reliable barrier for installed equipment. No software configuration or network connectivity is required for the physical security function.
Modular Enclosure Construction
The panel is built to match the dimensions and mounting points of the SR42UB and SR42UBEXP series racks. Its construction allows it to be fitted or removed as deployment requirements change, supporting both initial build-out and later reconfiguration. The design aligns with the rack frame to preserve structural rigidity and containment. It provides a solid metal barrier without integrated cable routing features or ventilation cutouts.

Questions about this item
Does the SR42SIDE panel add any fan noise or power draw to the rack?
The panel is a passive metal side cover with a key locking latch, so it adds no fan noise and draws no power.
Which rack models must I already own for this SR42SIDE panel to fit?
It is made for the standard depth SR42UB rack and for the SR42UBEXP expansion cabinet when a side panel is needed.
Will the SR42SIDE panel align with older 42U racks that use the same mounting pattern?
The panel is built for Tripp Lite SR42UB and SR42UBEXP frames; compatibility with other brands' 42U racks is not guaranteed.
