Hi peoples
I have a HP DL380 G8 that currently only has one CPU installed, E2609 V2.
I have purchased a second E-2609 CPU for it along with the additional 2 fans and heatsink but when I install the CPU, the system does not boot.
There is a red light on the server which only clears once the CPU is removed.
I have 2 16 gb slots of memory and balance this with one in each channel A, prior to installing the CPU. I think I am doing it right, but clearly I am missing something. I have tried the CPU in slot 1 and it powers up fine, so it doesnt appear to be a CPU issue.
Any advice is really appreciated,
cheers
