ML350p Gen8 Motherboard CPU socket issue

I picked up the ML350p Gen8 server at work when they upgraded.  They took everything out of it of course. So I am putting it back together. I noticed that the "I.T." guy (who is a contract company guy) was none to careful about taking out the cpu they had installed.  Looks he bent socket pins. The second socket was unused for CPU 2.

 I am wondering if it is possible just to use CPU 2 since that socket looks good. Or is it a must that CPU 1 must be installed? I have been looking but have not found an answer on the issue. Thanks for any help with my question as it would be appreciated.

Cpu 1 is mandatory.

Hope this helps!

Pretty much what I was thinking. So parting it out then will be the answer.  Glad I only put 30 into it...
