HP Proliant DL360 G7 CPU Upgrade Caused Failed Boot

[NickVHoy11]

I wanted to upgrade my DL360 G7 to Xeon X5687's after installing them it does not make it to post screen and instead beeps at me quickly, not a steady beep but a very quick on, off repeated. I tried reseating the CPU's but still did not work, I checked for bent pins, and there where none.   https://www.harddrivesdirect.com/quickspecs_proliant_DL360G7.php In the quickspecks it says it supports them, but only through HP Factory Integration which I had assumed ment that it was possible to get them working. Any respose would be helpfull!

Found my own solution, this server ships with 2 different mother boards, a different board is needed to support these CPU higher watage. https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/DL360-G7-versus-X5687/td-p/6813366#.Xpt1pMhKiM8
