Buying a DGX Station GB300 in the EU: manufacturers, project orders and what to prepare

How to buy a DGX Station GB300 in the EU

NVIDIA does not sell the DGX Station GB300 itself. Its product page lists seven manufacturers that build their own versions, among them Dell, Exxact, HP, MSI and Supermicro, and tells buyers to “Contact a partner to order your system.” Buying a DGX Station therefore means choosing one manufacturer’s version and ordering it from that manufacturer or from a supplier.

We supply manufacturers’ versions of the DGX Station GB300 per project. Before we can quote, the distribution asks us for the company, the project and the intended use. Approvals take longer than an order for cards, so send the request once the project and its use are defined.

NVIDIA’s product page gives no price for the DGX Station. As of October 2026, some manufacturers show a price for a configuration on their own websites, and others take enquiries through a contact form. A quote for an EU buyer covers one version, its configuration, the warranty and support term and the project it is for. The questions about the end user and the intended use relate to export control rules that can apply to high-end computing hardware. Our guide to the end-user certificate for NVIDIA GPUs explains those rules and who classifies a product.

Every version is built on the same GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip with 748 GB of coherent memory, which NVIDIA splits into 252 GB of HBM3e at 7.1 TB/s for the GPU and 496 GB of LPDDR5X at 396 GB/s for the CPU. It rates total system power at 1,600 W. What these figures mean for models is covered in our article on DGX Station GB300 specs and alternatives, and the comparison of the DGX Station and the DGX Spark sets it against the smaller GB10 system.

DGX Station manufacturers and how their versions differ

The superchip, memory and network controller are the same in every version. The chassis, cooling, rack mounting and power supply are the manufacturer’s design, and the table lists them as each product page states them.

Manufacturers’ product pages read on 16 October 2026 (Dell’s German shop page for the Dell version, which Dell’s US site names Dell Pro Max with GB300); “not stated” means the page gives no figure. NVIDIA’s list of seven manufacturers is on its DGX Station product page, read on the same day.

The preinstalled operating system differs as well. Dell lists Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with NVIDIA AI Developer Tools and Ubuntu Pro, and HP lists Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with NVIDIA AI Developer Tools and states that the ZGX Fury is “certified to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux”. Supermicro lists Ubuntu with NVIDIA AI Developer Tools, the name NVIDIA uses for the supported operating system. Exxact states “Preloaded NVIDIA DGX OS with Ubuntu Linux”, so ask Exxact which image it ships before you plan your tools around it.

Warranty and support terms are the manufacturer’s and differ by version. Dell lists Basic Hardware Service with onsite support after remote diagnosis, with ProSupport as an upgrade, and HP refers to its express warranty statements. The Exxact and MSI pages give no terms, and Supermicro’s page only links to its warranty policy. Ask for the warranty term, onsite or return service and the replacement process in writing with the quote. NVIDIA’s datasheet also lists RTX PRO cards for the PCIe slots and adds “Support may vary by system. Check with your OEM to confirm specific support and configurations.”

DGX Station availability and release status in October 2026

NVIDIA announced the DGX Station on 18 March 2025 and said it was expected from manufacturing partners “later this year”. ServeTheHome reported on 20 March 2026 that “NVIDIA’s partners have begun taking orders for their respective systems”, and that Dell, MSI, Supermicro and others took sales enquiries instead of direct orders through their websites.

On 16 October 2026, NVIDIA’s European product page carries both “Contact a partner to order your system.” and a form to be notified “when DGX Station becomes available”. MSI’s page states that its XpertStation WS300 “is now available”. We do not publish dates of our own. Whether a given version can be supplied for your project is part of the quote.

NVIDIA announced the DGX Station for Windows on 31 May 2026, “coming in Q4 this year”, from manufacturers including Dell Technologies, HP, MSI and Supermicro. Its blog post of 7 October 2026 previewed the system, said that “Until now, DGX Station ran on Linux” and gave no release date. HP’s page says support for this operating system on the ZGX Fury is “coming soon”. Until the manufacturer confirms that edition for your version in writing, plan on the Linux image.

What we are asked before a quote, and why

A DGX Station order needs more information than an order for cards. The first three rows below are what the distribution asks us for before we can quote; the others are what the end-user documents, the configuration and the delivery need.

The first three rows are what our distribution asks us for before a quote; the export control background is in our end-user certificate guide.

The end-user documents are signed by the company that will use the system. Whether a product is classified under export control rules is given by the manufacturer or exporter, and the use of the system in a particular project is a legal assessment for the company’s legal department.

We supply manufacturers’ versions of the DGX Station GB300 per project. Tell us the company, the project and the intended use, and we check price and availability of the version for your project.

Power circuit, heat, weight and noise

NVIDIA rates the DGX Station at 1,600 W of total system power. Its US page adds “20A circuit required”, a figure for North American mains, while the European page, read on 16 October 2026, lists the 1,600 W without a circuit requirement. HP states that the ZGX Fury requires a dedicated 200 to 240 V AC circuit. At 230 V, 1,600 W is about 7 A by our arithmetic, which a 16 A circuit carries. A dedicated circuit keeps a printer or a second workstation on the same breaker from adding to that load. Dell’s German shop page lists a C19 to CEE 7/7 cord rated 16 A as standard, which fits a wall socket; a rack PDU with C19 outlets needs a C19 to C20 cord, so name the outlet type when you order.

The electrical power ends up as heat in the room, up to 1.6 kW under full load. An office with comfort cooling sized for people and laptops may not remove that, so the facilities team should check the room before delivery. A server room or a rack position avoids the question, and HP and Supermicro list mounting in 5U, with Supermicro asking for 6U including 1U below the system for power supply venting.

Supermicro gives 40 kg net and 51 kg gross for its version, and Dell up to 38.67 kg, so plan two people for unpacking and a desk or floor rated for the load. None of the NVIDIA and manufacturer pages we read gives a noise level. HP and Supermicro use liquid cooling, and Supermicro’s specification also lists fans. Ask the manufacturer for acoustic data before you place the system next to desks.

Networking: 800 Gb/s, 10 GbE and the BMC

The ConnectX-8 SuperNIC provides two QSFP112 ports at 400 Gb/s each, up to 800 Gb/s of Ethernet. The datasheet adds one 10 GbE port and one 1 GbE port for the BMC. NVIDIA supports linking up to two DGX Stations through the SuperNIC. For one system in an office, the 10 GbE port connects it to the LAN. The QSFP112 ports matter for a second DGX Station, a 400 Gb/s switch or fast shared storage, and the cables, optics and switch ports for them belong in the order.

NVIDIA lists “Out-of-band telemetry via the BMC, Redfish API support, and NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager”. Plan a port and an address on your management network for the BMC, as you would for a server, so the system can be monitored and power-cycled remotely.

Operating system: Ubuntu, DGX OS and Arm software

NVIDIA lists Ubuntu with NVIDIA AI Developer Tools as the supported operating system. Its DGX Station development guide, updated on 22 July 2026, says this is “based on Ubuntu version 24.04”. The Grace CPU uses the Arm v9.0 instruction set, so every agent you install, such as monitoring, backup or endpoint protection, needs an Arm64 build. The guide has a section on porting existing applications, and the time to check binary-only dependencies is before the order.

How a DGX Station order runs

The steps below are the order of a project purchase through us; the approval step has no fixed duration, and an approval is not automatic.

1. Choose the version: manufacturer, desk or rack, preinstalled operating system, storage and any added PCIe card.
2. Send us the company, the project and the intended use with the configuration.
3. We pass the request to the distribution, which reviews it; you sign the end-user documents where asked.
4. You receive the quote with the configuration, the warranty and support term and the delivery terms.
5. You place the order.
6. You prepare the site: circuit, room cooling, network ports and the BMC address.
7. On delivery, check the system against the quote: the GPU model and its memory as nvidia-smi reports them, the network links at the ordered speed and BMC access.

Describe your project and the version you have in mind in the form below, and we reply within one business day.

When an RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q tower or H200 NVL server fits better

The DGX Station suits one large model for one developer or a few users. Where many people use models at once, a tower with up to four RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q (384 GB, up to sixteen MIG instances) or a rack server whose two or four H200 NVL share up to 564 GB of HBM3e over NVLink bridges often fits better, on x86 and with cards that are replaced one at a time. Our article on DGX Station GB300 alternatives compares them, and the guide to four RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q in one workstation covers the tower. For a rack system with eight GPUs, see buying a DGX B300 in the EU.

What we supply

We supply manufacturers’ versions of the DGX Station GB300 per project, with manufacturer warranty, on one EU contract and invoice. Before we can quote, the distribution asks us for the company, the project and the intended use. For the PCIe slots, we supply the professional NVIDIA GPUs that NVIDIA lists for the DGX Station, the RTX PRO 6000 Workstation and Max-Q, the RTX PRO 4000 SFF and the RTX PRO 2000, subject to the manufacturer’s confirmation for its version. Where the alternatives fit better, we build RTX PRO 6000 workstations and RTX PRO 6000 or H200 NVL servers as AI servers built to order, assembled and burn-in tested, and check the rack, power and airflow before we quote.
