Description

StarTech PLATEBLANK Steel Expansion Slot Cover

Overview

The StarTech PLATEBLANK is a steel expansion slot cover designed to seal off unused openings in a computer chassis. This accessory provides a clean, professional finish to PC builds and server configurations by preventing dust ingress and improving internal airflow management. It is essential for maintaining a tidy internal environment, particularly in rackmount servers or custom PC builds where aesthetics and thermal performance are critical. The PLATEBLANK model ensures a flush fit for standard expansion slots.

Compatibility

This slot cover is designed for standard PC and server chassis expansion slots. Its dimensions are compatible with most ATX, Micro-ATX, and smaller form factor motherboards that utilize standard PCI/PCIe expansion slot spacing. It fits any open slot on the rear of the computer case.

Installation Notes

Installation involves simply aligning the cover with an empty expansion slot on the computer case and securing it with the case's existing slot screws or provided screws if applicable. The steel construction offers durability and a secure fit.
