No HDD in HDD bay, but Disk Utility sees SSD

No HDD, cradle or SATA power/data cable seen in HDD bay. But Disk Utility sees Apple SSD SMO256G PCI internal physical disk.

How do I add new SSD?

Where is SATA power/data cable?

Need to get SSD cradle and SATA power/data cable?

Further research suggests that this iMac could have had a Fusion Drive (combining a hard drive and flash storage in a single volume), but no was HDD installed? Or it was removed?

This iMAc likely has flash storage (SSD) on mother board, can it be replaced?

I will look for SATA data/power cable, under the fan and HDD enclosure area.

If it is not there, can I install SATA data/power cable?
