    Hi,

    In this case the system supports a secondary processor,but then the secondary processor that you are planning to install should have entirely the same specifications of the primary processor and it should be installed with the heat sink assembly.

    If you can send the service tag of the system via private message I can look into the details of the system to advise the processor part no and you may contact an external vendor for the part .

    If there are any more queries do feel free to reply to this community thread ,we will be glad to assist you .

    Kindest Regards,

    Hi,

    In this case, this is the processor installed on your system is  XEON WOODCREST,80556K,(Dell part no :WJ544) and the heat sink dell part no:FD841  which can be of use when you contact the external vendor (To view the details of the system click on this link )

    Note:Before you purchase the processor do buy the heat sink as its difficult to find one .

    Kind Regards,
