Thank you for your reply.
I have selected the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2450 V2 and can get two of the same so that's great. Just wasn't sure if there were any other hardware requirements before changing. I have 2x 550W also
Thanks

Hmm searching the part code gives a similar result to the one below (the one i had selected) so i should be okay. I read I may need a riser or something?

I have a PCIE_G2_X4 so will need to source one of those. Extra fan and cpu cooler too.
You have been very helpful thank you!

Hello,
Please remember to update the firmware before doing any upgrade BIOS, iDRAC, CPLD.
Please be aware the CPUs have to be identical
Processor type One or two Intel Xeon processors E5-2400 and E5-2400 v2 product family
The R420 can use two types of PSUs (350W and 550W). I recommend using 550W in your system because power consumption will increase when you switch to the dual processor.
Hope that helps!
