Rack Mounting the

Avid Nitris DNA Enclosure

This section provides the information for mounting the Avid Nitris DNA in a

19-inch (483-mm) National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) or

Electronics Industries Association (EIA) rack. Avid recommends that you

mount your Avid Nitris DNA in a rack before you connect any cables.

If you need to rack mount the HP workstation, a rack-mount kit is available

from HP. Installation instructions are included with the kit. The

HP Workstation system requires 5 rack units.

Equipment Environmental and Safety Guidelines

When you install the Avid Nitris DNA in a rack, you must take the following

precautions:

• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature — When the

Avid Nitris DNA is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater

than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consider installing the

equipment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum ambient

temperature of 104°F (40°C).

• Reduced Airflow — Do not compromise the amount of airflow required

for safe operation of the equipment.
