each server have 2 x 550W PSU
------------------------------------------------------------------------
i buy  a Xeon 6240  , and remove default cpu . put Xeon 6240 but cannot boot
got error  UEFI0384 Unsupported processor.​

but in this forum there a thread says to put on BASEBOARD : 4JN2K, this will try tomorrow

    Hello,

     

    Check the chart on the link I posted below and it validates system board part number 4JN2K can support up to 150 W TPD processors (6252, 6428, 6242, and 6240)

     

    NOTE: PowerEdge R440 with system board part number 4JN2K can support up to 150 W TPD processors (6252, 6428, 6242, and 6240). System boards with previous version part numbers can only support up to 140 W TDP.

     

    Check the list, on the link below, for any CPU that is less than 140 W TDP should work with your existing motherboard that is not 4JN2K.

    You may check with Sales they will have a list of current CPU's that are available for a quote of CPU's in stock.
