Connectivity and Networking

The Dell Pro Max GB10 provides extensive I/O for a system of its size, including high-speed networking for multi-unit configurations.

1. USB Ports

  • 1x USB Type-C (20 Gbps) — power input port (280W adapter connects here)
  • 3x USB Type-C (20 Gbps) — general purpose
  • USB-C ports support DisplayPort Alt Mode for display output

2. Display Output

  • 1x HDMI 2.1b — dedicated display output
  • USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode — additional display(s) via USB-C

3. Wired Networking

  • 1x 10 GbE Ethernet (RJ45) — standard network connectivity
  • 2x QSFP 200 Gbps ports — via NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC
    • Each port supports 200 Gbps
    • Primary use: multi-unit-stacking for scaling to 2-unit configurations
    • Based on ConnectX-7 SmartNIC technology

4. Wireless

  • Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be)
  • Bluetooth 5.4
