3.) Qualified O.S., Hardware and shared storage supported:
Qualified / Supported
Nitris DX / Mojo DX
NOT SUPPORTED
(requires PCIe gen 1 or 2 slot which is not
available on this system)
Artist DNxIO/ DNxIQ (PCIe or
thunderbolt connection)
Artist DNxIV (thunderbolt only
connection)
Yes – Supported
PCIe Guidance
PCIe preferred as it requires less system over-head due
to direct PCIe to PCIe connection between the host
CPU and Artist DNxIO.
Thunderbolt Guidance
Thunderbolt 2 & 3 - higher system over-head, not
recommended to share Thunderbolt devices on the
same Thunderbolt bus with DNxIO, DNxIQ, DNxIV
DELL 5820 supports only one Thunderbolt 3 HBA with
dual Thunderbolt 3 ports.
DNxIO would require TB3 to TB2 converter
Thunderbolt 3 offers support of cable lengths up to
60-meters (via qualified Corning Thunderbolt cables)
for users needing to physically place the Artist DNxIO
at longer distances from the host CPU Workstation.
