Will fitting a blanking plate fix an overheating switch or server?
Not necessarily. Overheating has an airflow cause that needs identifying: intake temperature, exhaust recirculation, fan direction, blocked vents or simply insufficient air movement.
A blanking panel can be part of the remedy where an unwanted opening is allowing recirculation, but an overheating device is not merely a vacancy in search of a sheet of steel.
Thanks — glad it helped.
