Abstract
An electronic equipment enclosure includes a frame structure, one or more enclosure panels mounted on the frame structure, an exhaust duct, and a plurality of adjustable filler panel assemblies. The frame structure and the one or more enclosure panels together define an enclosure. The exhaust duct is substantially the same height as the enclosure and has an air inlet opening formed therein for receipt of exhaust air from equipment mounted in the enclosure. The plurality of adjustable filler panel assemblies selectively block portions of the air inlet opening in order to create a custom-fit air inlet opening for a particular piece of equipment so that exhaust air from the equipment does not flow back into the enclosure after entering the exhaust duct.
