HPE BW928A

Overview

The HPE BW928A is a pack of ten 1U filler panels designed for standard 19-inch racks, serving to optimize airflow within server cabinets. These panels prevent air from escaping through empty rack spaces, directing cool air efficiently to your equipment and helping maintain stable operating temperatures. Each panel measures 1.62 x 19.12 x 1.73 inches and the full set weighs just 3.56 pounds, making them easy to handle and install.

Installation and setup

Ideal uses and environments

The BW928A panels are well suited for data centers, colocation facilities, and small business server closets where managing airflow is critical to maintaining equipment reliability and energy efficiency. By sealing unused rack spaces, they help cooling systems operate more effectively, which can extend hardware lifespan and reduce operational costs. System administrators and technicians will find these panels practical for maintaining neat, dust-protected racks during equipment upgrades or reconfigurations.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
