VxRail P580N, i need some guidance with this server....

Question

Hello Everyone; i hope you all doing great!!

Im gonna start my story; i was lucky enough (i wanna keep it that way), and got into my hands a VxRail P580N, barebones... yeah Chasis, Mother Board, 2 Heat Sinks (dunno if they are high efficiency), 2x 2000watt power supplies, one or two micro SD cards for the boot (i think), lots of cables (looking barely used)... but No CPU, RAM, NVM SDD; and well here are my questions.

First off all id like to ask you this: the user manual or guide, says it uses QUAD XEON SCALABLE 2nd Generation, the question is, can it work with 2 Processors?

Second, what does the DDR4 ECC ram varies, because it says it can use DDR4 ECC 2933Y and DDR4 ECC 2933; wich one is the one for the job?

Third, whats the max wattage processor capability 165W, 195W, or 205W? or EVEN 240W?

To be honest, i ask this things because it was sold to me without the service tag or Serial Number and well... the GUYS FROM DELL DENY ANY INFORMATION IF I DONT HAVE THESE DATA, and I Hope you can help me out to resolve my questions!

Thanks in advance for reading!

So this system is basically a PowerEdge R840 system. the R840 can do quad procs, but will work fine with just two procs. As for the procs, they dont really give us that info in an easy to read matrix for the maximum wattage per proc the system can take, one may exist, but I havnt seen it. I did see one proc in our parts database that says it worked for the R840 and was 200watts. For the memory, I would compare specs of the 2933 and 2933Y and see which fits your needs (and wallet) better.
