Love this thing it is an absolute beast and game changers. So much so I purchased 2 more but unfortunately all 3 units are having a similar issue with not recognizing the ConnectX-7 ports. Using Nvidia approved cables and the units refuse to power them online. Similar issues with the Nvidia DGX Sparks as well. Not sure if it's a firmware or software issue but it's silly support's only answer was to ship 3 GX10's back for hardware troubleshooting when 3 different 1s from 3 different lots to have same issue.

Dear Rob F68,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your dissatisfaction with the quality of the product and your recent customer service experience, and the inconvenience this may have caused if three units are not recognizing the ConnectX-7 ports.
We do value our customers and take the negative customer service experience very seriously. This is not the quality of service expected from ASUS. We stand behind our product and continuously strive to improve our approach and processes to achieve customer service excellence. All products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections, and are built to last, the issue you experienced with the unit is random. To resolve the issue, try loading default settings in the BIOS and ensure the PCIe allocation settings in the BIOS are not misconfigured. Ensure your system is running the latest software via the NVIDIA DGX Dashboard. Attempt a full recovery using the latest recovery image from NVIDIA to ensure no firmware corruption. Additionally, ensure the unit is running with the most current BIOS version posted at: https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/desktop-ai-supercomputer/ultra-small-ai-supercomputers/asus-ascent-gx10/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=ASUS-Ascent-GX10

Setup out of the box was very easy. I used my laptop and the GX10 hotspot. I also connected with Ethernet and SSH. So far my experience has been awesome.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cooling isn’t right. I cannot ever hear the fan kick in and have dug around and installed all firmware updates. Initially therma system was completely disconnected. Managed by shifting power around instead of running a fan. The website averages 7 fan speeds and I haven’t seen more than 1.
