Hello -
We received a DGX station with 4 v100 GPUs that is unable to boot. Upon initial troubleshooting, we noticed a missing PSU to CPU cable. This system features a 1600-watt Power supply with 10 ports (6+2 PCIe and 4+4 CPU). IF we were to use single head cables we would need 11 ports and the PSU only supports 10. We need to feed power to one of the N100 cards using a dual-head PCIe cable so that proper power to all the DGX Subunits is connected.
We are using the Premier Cables from Corsair. We want to ensure this is a valid configuration and does not violate any support or warranty issues with NVIDIA. Is it ok to have one of the N100 cards with a Dual-Head PCIe Cable? And last, which one of the 4 cards do you suggest we use the cable on? I am not sure if they all draw power evenly or which one draws the least power.
Thank you for any assistance.
Alex
