    Need help: HP DL180 G9 compatible CPUs

    Got a DL180 G9 a while ago. It came with dual E5 2630v3 pre-installed. I'm trying to upgrade the CPU. I've checked the specs on HP websites, showing it supporting up to E5-2680v4 and E5-2695v4, so I bought a E5-2680v4. Server didn't boot. Found someone saying some models of the motherboard...
