E.) Nvidia Quadro GPU monitor connectivity:
The Nvidia Quadro K4200 graphics card has a single DVI port and two Display-Port ports. All 3
ports can be used simultaneously.
The Nvidia Quadro K5200 graphics card has a two DVI ports and two Display-Port ports. All 4
ports can be used simultaneously.
The M4000, M5000, M6000 and AMD W7100, W8100 graphics cards all have 4 display-Ports.
The M5000 and M6000 also have one DVI port.
(Important: Display-ports are not HDMI ports; at first glance they do look very similar to HDMI
ports)
For dual monitor connectivity:
1. Use 2 DVI ports on the K5200
2. Use the DVI port and one Display-Port (Display-Port connection can be native display-port to
monitor via display-port connection, or use the display-port-to-DVI-adapter supplied with the
system to connect to a native DVI monitor).
3. Or use two Display-Ports

The Dell 7810 workstation does have an embedded serial port. The embedded serial-port has been
qualified by Avid and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid environments. Primary or secondary /
additional serial port deck control can be established via two methods (both of which have been
qualified by Avid and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid environments)
