Abstract: An acoustic-absorbing blanking panel for an electronics rack includes a sheet of acoustic-absorbing material mounted or mountable onto a front panel, the front panel being mountable onto an electronics rack. The blanking panel exhibits an absorption band at a frequency between 800 Hz and 12000 Hz. The sheet of acoustic-absorbing material may be mounted onto a frame, the frame being mountable onto a server rack. The sheet of acoustic-absorbing material may include acoustic-absorbing film, non-woven material, foam, or a panel with a core having a honeycomb structure. An electronics server rack includes a rack with mounting rails, constructed to house electronics components. An acoustic-absorbing blanking panel is mounted on the mounting rails. The blanking panel includes a sheet of acoustic-absorbing material mounted onto a front panel, the front panel being mounted onto the rack. The blanking panel has an absorption band at a frequency between 800 Hz and 12000 Hz.

Abstract: An acoustic absorbing panel adapted for use with computers and servers includes a first layer and an opposing second layer, and a core disposed between the first and second layers, the core including walls extending between the first and second layers and defining a series of cells, each cell being at least partially surrounded by a wall, adjacent cells being interconnected via an opening in the at least one wall. The panel includes a through hole in the first layer or the second layer. The hole may be aligned with a cell in a series of cells. The panel has an absorption band at a frequency between 800 Hz and 12000 Hz. The panel may include a flame resistant polymer composition. The panel may be mounted on the frame of an electronics enclosure. The electronics enclosure may be a server rack or a case of a computer or server.
