Installing a gpu (K20) into T620
Hello,
I need to install NVIDIA Tesla K20 into a PowerEdge T620 server.
The GPU requires two 6-pin PCI-e connectors connected to power, I'm wondering what kinds of cables I need to get and where should I plug in. I briefly looked inside of the server, but I couldn't find proper cables or slots for them.
Thanks!

Haneul0318,
With the T620 you must select the GPU enablement kit at the point of sale to install GPU or keep the system's GPGPU capability. The GPU enablement kit is not upgradable after point of sales.
Let me know if this answers your question.

So it does work but it's "not supported"?

Why would this not be upgrade-able after the sale? Is this not just as simple as added a power cable, new fan shroud and support bracket?
Is there any software/BIOS issues we aren't aware of? Basically our company now wants to test out virtual machines on a K2 GRID card. I will lose quite a bit of faith in Dell if they haven't thought about the people that want to upgrade later to a Citrix/ Remote FX type of platform.
There has to be a way...

Have you found any solution?
I am planning to install the same NVIDIA Tesla K20 on the new DELL T620. Unfortunately I checked it is compatible but I have not seen it was required the GPU enablement kit.
