Questions about this item

What display cables or adapters do I need to connect monitors to the two Thunderbolt 4 ports with DisplayPort 2.1?

Use Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C cables that carry DisplayPort 2.1 signals; each port can drive a display directly or through a compatible dock or adapter.

Will my existing 1 GbE network switches and cables work with the dual 2.5G LAN ports?

Yes, the Intel I226-V and I226-LM controllers auto-negotiate down to 1 GbE, so current Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables and switches will function at their rated speed.

How can I confirm the AI Boost NPU is delivering the 57 TOPS shown in the specifications?

Open Windows Task Manager, select the NPU tab under Performance, and run an AI workload; the utilisation graph and driver-reported throughput will show the NPU operating at its rated capacity.
