The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein the aperture scoring is a shape selected from the group consisting of a circle; an ellipse; a rectangle; a ‘T’ shape; a ‘U’ shape; a rounded ‘T’ shape; and, a rounded rectangle shape. 3. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein one aperture scoring is present on each opposite horizontal end of each piece, and the aperture scoring is uniform on each piece throughout the panel, and wherein the aperture scoring is present substantially halfway up each piece vertically. 4. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein x=y. 5. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein each piece is exactly one U in height. 6. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein x is a whole integer between 1 and 46 inclusive. 7. The server rack blanking panel of claim 6, wherein x is 2 or greater, and where the panel scoring further comprises horizontal scoring such that the panel is divided into equal, substantially identical separable pieces, each piece being about one U in height. 8. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein the panel is between about 19.00 inches to about 19.25 inches wide. 9. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein the panel is comprised of a lightweight and flexible material and wherein the panel is fire-retardant material. 10. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein the panel consists essentially of a material is selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene; chlorinated polyvinyl chloride; chlorinated polyvinylidine chloride; polyphenylene oxide-styrene; plexiglass; high-density polyethylene; and a polypropylene compound. 11. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, further comprising at least one piece of n U height, where the piece has at least four aperture scorings thereon, where n is an integer. 12. The server rack blanking panel of claim 11, wherein the at least one piece of n U height comprises four aperture scorings, where the aperture scorings are located substantially near the four corners of the piece. 13. The server rack blanking panel of claim 11, wherein the at least one piece of n U height has 2n aperture scorings therein, and wherein the piece has an even amount of aperture scorings on each opposite end of the piece, and wherein the aperture scorings are evenly spaced through the opposite horizontal ends of the piece. 14. The server rack blanking panel of claim 1, wherein the aperture scoring is in the form of a rounded rectangle shaped scoring aperture, and wherein one aperture is present on each end of each piece, and wherein each aperture is located substantially in the center of the respective vertical edges of the piece, and wherein each aperture is between about 0.350 to about 0.500 inches high and between about 0.200 to about 0.375 inches wide, and wherein each aperture is located between about 0.725 to about 0.775 inches from the vertical edge of the piece, and wherein each aperture is about 0.6875 inches deep, measured horizontally from the edge of the piece to the furthest inside edge of the aperture. 15. A server rack blanking panel comprising a panel, wherein the panel is between about 18.75 inches to about 19.50 inches wide, and wherein the panel is x U in height, where x is a whole integer greater than one, and where U is about 1.75 inches, and wherein the panel consists of y pieces, where y is a whole integer, and wherein the panel further comprises scoring, where the scoring comprises horizontal scoring such that the panel is divided into equal, substantially identical separable pieces, each piece being about z U in height, where z is an integer. 16. The server rack blanking panel of claim 15, wherein z=1, and wherein x=y. 17. The server rack blanking panel of claim 15, wherein the scoring further comprises scoring on both of the opposite horizontal ends of each piece of the panel in the form of at least one aperture scoring. 18. The server rack blanking panel of claim 17, wherein the aperture scoring is a shape selected from the group consisting of a circle; an ellipse; a rectangle; a ‘T’ shape; a ‘U’ shape; a rounded ‘T’ shape; and, a rounded rectangle shape. 19. The server rack blanking panel of claim 17, wherein one aperture scoring is present on each opposite horizontal end of each piece, and the aperture scoring is uniform on each piece throughout the panel, and wherein the aperture scoring is present substantially halfway up each piece vertically. 20. The server rack blanking panel of claim 16, wherein x is a whole integer between 1 and 46 inclusive. 21. The server rack blanking panel of claim 15, wherein the panel is comprised of a lightweight and flexible material and wherein the panel is fire-retardant material. 22.
