We made use of these when we realized that the empty slots in our C3000 chassis were preventing the air flowing evenly and removing the heat very efficiently. The enclosure operate properly only when all the slots are full. If there is an opening in any of the bays, the air flow will not perform as designed, and besides, it was was looking yawning ugly ! These blanks assisted us in avoiding the tornado effect-where air hits an unexpected opening and blows in the wrong direction. This can create an area in the rack where the air spins in place rather than blows out. This obviously disrupts the cooling effects. Our enclosure is now dead silent in the server room.
