Not a simple Upgrade DL360p Gen8
In September 2013, Intel announced the release of E5-2600v2 processors. In the wake of this, all the leading manufacturers of server hardware have updated their line of servers.
HP has also replaced its line of server hardware, all models began to have the prefix v2.
Simultaneously with the appearance of new servers on sale, we began receiving requests from users about the possibility of upgrading a previously acquired HP Proliant DL360p Gen8 / 380p Gen8 , ML350p Gen8 server to version v2. This question has been redirected to those. HP specialists.

Using these instructions, there are no problems when switching to v2 processors.
However, HP was not so simple. In one of the most popular models of HP Proliant DL360p Gen8 crept significant changes. Namely, HP has replaced the DL360p Gen8 servers with mounting radiators for both v1 and v2 models. Those. if earlier radiator mount was “lever”, now it has become “screw”.
Therefore, when upgrading the processor kit in the DL360p Gen8 v1 server hardware, you should take into account on what week the server was manufactured. This can be done by the serial number of the server. Take, for example, the serial number CZJ343OXDG - the 5th and 6th characters indicate the week in which the server was made. In all servers, produced before the 40th week, a “lever” type radiator is installed, respectively, “screw” type radiators are installed in servers produced after 40 weeks.
You can also use the tool from HP - partsurfer.hp.com . Specifying the serial number, you can see the composition of your server. You need to check the option with desks number 622259-xxx. If the last digits instead of xxx are 002, then this is a server with a “lever” radiator, if 003, then with a “screw” radiator.
When ordering the processor sets themselves, you should pay attention to the whale's part number, if it starts with the number 65, then it contains a “lever” radiator, if with the numbers 71 and 74, then it contains a “screw” radiator. For example:
