The Avid Nitris DNA is designed for 19-inch (483-mm) rack enclosures and requires three
EIA rack units (3U), or 5 ¼ inches (133.4 mm) of rack space. The Avid Nitris DNA provides
rack nuts for those rack enclosures that do not have threaded holes. Rack-nut clips position
the rack nuts at the holes of the rack and are used to secure the rack components in place.
