There is any way to find out if the CN11 is only present in a redundant power solution or if I have to change the whole system in order to have this connector ?
GPGPUs are only supported with redundant power supplies. Cabled power supplies are not supported and there is no in-field upgrade process for switching a chassis from cabled to redundant power supplies. It may be possible but I'm not going to try to figure out a way to do it.
GPGPU installation is not intended to be an after-point-of-sale upgrade. We do not have a kit designed to facilitate APOS GPGPU installation. It is recommended that you have 1100 redundant PSUs, but that is not a requirement. All redundant PSUs should work with GPGPUs if the power draw is within the PSU capabilities. If you did not order the system with GPGPUs then you will likely need to purchase and install the interposer board for the power distribution board that has the required power connector. You will also need the cable:
3692K - 2x4 power cable K501P - PDB interposer board
Normal sales reps can usually only sell new equipment. These are considered replacement parts and are not intended as new purchases. You will need to contact "Spare Parts" sales to request the purchase of these components through us.
I think those are the only two parts you need, but since we do not have a process in place for this type of upgrade I can't be sure. If you perform this upgrade please post back with the outcome for anyone else that may want to do this.
