Question Help i have a Amd opteron 2435 problem

[Sysierius]

Hello everyone I'm nieuw here.
I have a problem with my hp workstation xw9400.
I bought two amd opteron 2435s
And the workstation wont turn on.
They are on the support list and the bios is up to date, i also did a bios reset before swapping the cpus
Can someone help me?

How much memory is installed? Dual processor needs more memory installed.

are you sure its supported?

Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 2000 series with 1 GHz HyperTransport™ Technology bus, 1 MB L2 cache per core.

2435 has hypertransport 3.0 running at 2.4GHz

also its different socket, 1GHz HTT is using Fr1 up to Fr3 socket, your new CPUs are socket Fr6

It has 8x2gb installed

I have no idea why it is in the hp support list then. :c

well....did some deeper digging, there seems to be more versions of xw9400...cpu compatibility depends on mainboard version

found some dated thread with people flashing bios to make it working on older mainboard revisions

[SOLVED] Upgrading XW9400 mobo

I bought a XW9400 motherboard off e-bay and got it working fine so far with dual Opteron 2218 processors ( 2x2 cores @ 2.6GHz ). I've tried putting a pair of Opteron 2347HE's ( 2x4 cores @ 1.9GHz ) which I have but it doesn't boot. I've seen a few bits about problems with boot block updates...
