Dell PowerEdge R320 motherboard question
Hello! I got a recycled Dell PowerEdge R320 server for home use, without a motherboard.
What I want to do is processor intensive, and I noticed the R320 motherboards had BGA for a 2nd processor.
Which model fit in the same PowerEdge R320 chassis, but had dual CPU's?

PowerEdge R320 support only single CPU configuration and all motherboard supported in R320 will have only one CPU socket support

But what other 1u server had 2 CPU's? Was the R420 the same Motherboard form Factor as the R320, but with 2 CPU's?
I know there's a dual CPU motherboard I can install in a R320 case, Add the appropriate fans and power supply, and still use the case, I just need to know what the "Big Brother" was to the R320 in the same years (ideally same CPU's, as I have the 1 Xeon from the R320's Motherboard.)

Maybe it would be more straightforward to ask:
Will a Dual CPU PowerEdge R420 motherboard fit in an R320 Chassis?
