Do all ML350p Gen8 servers support Ivy Bridge V2 CPUs?

[PapaBurr]

I know that the HP Z420/620/820 have a bootblock/mobo rev required for Ivy Bridge CPUs. Do all ML350p Gen 8s accept Ivy Bridge V2 CPUs or is there a board revision required?  

Thanks!

*UPDATE*

I found the ISO to do the flash to support V2 CPUs.  However, it says new latches are needed and NO ONE has them.  Is there a way to modify the Sandy Bridge latches to work with Ivy Bridge CPUs?

Hi,

NOTE: Customers who use ML350p Gen8 sandy bridge processors need to purchase Heatsink lever upgrade kit 749245-B21 when plan to upgrade to Ivy bridge processor
