dl360p g8 vs e5-1660 v2 [solved]

[cduced]

I have a dl360p that I was able to successfully run a single e5-1660 processor in with no issues.  I recently attempted to upgrade  to a single e5-1660 v2 but would boot up.  Systems Insight Display is amber for CPU 1 and the Health LED is flashing red.  I am running the latest bios (9/18/2013).  Not sure this is an officially supported chip but I really don't see why it wouldn't work.  Is it possible I have a bad chip?  Thanks.  -- Bud

Hi,

E5-1660 this processor is not compatible with DL360p Gen8 server according to the specifications from HP.

If you are upgrading from E5-2660 to E5-2660 V2, then read this document.

Thank You!
I am a HP employee

If the second recommendation does not work or cannot be performed, then inspect the processor and the processor socket carefully for any bent/broken pins for physical damage.

If that is the case, then both the system board and the processor that is damaged needs to be replaced.
