Abstract
A power distribution panel can include a cabinet, one or more breakers disposed within the cabinet for selectively providing power to a plurality of computer equipment devices, a door coupled to the cabinet for selectively providing access to the breakers, and a user interface for providing information about the breakers. The user interface can be coupled to the door and/or can provide information about the breakers at the front of the cabinet, such as through the door. The power distribution panel can include a first airflow path across the breakers and a second airflow path across the user interface. The first airflow path can be isolated from the second airflow path.
