A hot/cold aisle air containment system includes a frame structure, at least one electronic equipment enclosure installed at least partially within the frame structure, and a header panel assembly. The frame structure adapted to be at least partially covered by one or more panels to define an interior space and includes at least one horizontal member. The header panel assembly is installed between a top of the at least one electronic equipment enclosure and the at least one horizontal member of the frame structure to prevent circulation of air above the enclosure. The header panel assembly includes a pair of panels. A first of the pair of panels is adjustable horizontally relative to a second of the pair of panels, and the pair of panels, together, are adjustable vertically relative to the least one horizontal member.

1. A method of preventing air circulation above an electronic equipment enclosure in a hot/cold aisle air containment system, the method comprising: providing a frame structure adapted to be at least partially covered by one or more panels to define an interior space, the frame structure including at least one horizontal member;installing at least one electronic equipment enclosure at least partially within the frame structure such that an opening exists between a top of the at least one electronic equipment enclosure and the at least one horizontal member;installing a header panel assembly between a top of the at least one electronic equipment enclosure and the at least one horizontal member of the frame structure, the header panel assembly including a pair of panels engaged with one another;adjusting a first of the pair of panels in a horizontal direction relative to a second of the pair of panels to substantially cover a width dimension of the opening; andadjusting the pair of panels, together, in a vertical direction relative to the at least one horizontal member to substantially cover a height dimension of the openingwherein installing the header panel assembly includes mounting a pair of fixed brackets, each with a clamp fastener, to the at least one horizontal member, and clamping the pair of panels to the pair of fixed brackets using the clamp fasteners. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first panel is telescopically engaged with the second panel. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting in the horizontal direction includes loosening at least one fastener attaching the first panel to the second panel, moving the first panel relative to the second panel, and tightening the at least one fastener. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the at least one fastener is attached to the second panel and extends through a horizontally-oriented slotted opening in the first panel, the at least one fastener being permitted to move within the slotted opening when loosened. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting in the vertical direction includes loosening the clamp fasteners, moving the pair of panels upward or downward relative to the pair of fixed brackets mounted to the at least one horizontal member, and tightening the clamp fasteners. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising removing at least one of the pair of fixed brackets, and re-mounting the removed fixed bracket to the at least one horizontal member at a different mounting location. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising attaching at least one seal to either a side edge or a bottom edge of at least one of the pair of panels, and arranging the at least one seal to engage and be compressed against an adjacent structure. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising attaching a seal along an edge of the at least one horizontal member, and arranging the at least one seal to engage and be compressed against at least one of the pair of panels. 9. A method of preventing air circulation above an electronic equipment enclosure in a hot/cold aisle air containment system, the method comprising: providing a frame structure adapted to be at least partially covered by one or more panels to define an interior space, the frame structure including a horizontal member that is supported at its ends;with the frame structure already in place, installing an electronic equipment enclosure at least partially within the frame structure such that the horizontal member extends across the entire width of the electronic equipment enclosure but is freestanding relative to a top thereof, and such that a side-to-side opening exists between the top of the electronic equipment enclosure and the horizontal member;installing a header panel assembly between a top of the electronic equipment enclosure and the horizontal member of the frame structure, the header panel assembly including a pair of panels engaged with one another;adjusting a first of the pair of panels in a horizontal direction relative to a second of the pair of panels to substantially cover a width dimension of the opening; andadjusting the pair of panels, together, in a vertical direction relative to the horizontal member to substantially cover a height dimension of the openingwherein installing the header panel assembly includes mounting a pair of fixed brackets, each with a clamp fastener, to the at least one horizontal member, and clamping the pair of panels to the pair of fixed brackets using the clamp fasteners. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the first panel is telescopically engaged with the second panel. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein adjusting in the horizontal direction includes loosening at least one fastener attaching the first panel to the second panel, moving the first panel relative to the second panel, and tightening the at least one fastener. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one fastener is attached to the second panel and extends through a horizontally-oriented slotted opening in the first panel, the at least one fastener being permitted to move within the slotted opening when loosened. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein adjusting in the vertical direction includes loosening the clamp fasteners, moving the pair of panels upward or downward relative to the pair of fixed brackets mounted to the horizontal member, and tightening the clamp fasteners. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising removing at least one of the pair of fixed brackets, and re-mounting the removed fixed bracket to the horizontal member at a different mounting location. 15. The method of claim 9, further comprising attaching at least one seal to either a side edge or a bottom edge of at least one of the pair of panels, and arranging the at least one seal to engage and be compressed against an adjacent structure. 16. The method of claim 9, further comprising attaching a seal along an edge of the horizontal member, and arranging the at least one seal to engage and be compressed against at least one of the pair of panels. 17. A method of preventing air circulation above an electronic equipment enclosure in a hot/cold aisle air containment system, the method comprising: providing a frame structure adapted to be at least partially covered by one or more panels to define an interior space, the frame structure including an integral horizontal member;with the frame structure already in place, installing a plurality of electronic equipment enclosures in a row such that the integral horizontal member extends continuously across the entire width of the row of electronic equipment enclosures, and such that a side-to-side opening exists between a top of each respective electronic equipment enclosure and the horizontal member;installing a respective header panel assembly between the top of each electronic equipment enclosure and the horizontal member of the frame structure, the header panel assembly including a pair of panels engaged with one another;adjusting a first of the pair of panels in a horizontal direction relative to a second of the pair of panels to substantially cover a width dimension of the opening over the respective electronic equipment enclosure; andadjusting the pair of panels, together, in a vertical direction relative to the horizontal member to substantially cover a height dimension of the respective openingwherein installing the header panel assembly includes mounting a pair of fixed brackets, each with a clamp fastener, to the at least one horizontal member, and clamping the pair of panels to the pair of fixed brackets using the clamp fasteners.
