Hi, I recently brought a used E5-2690 processor and installed it into the second socket of my server (STRATOS S210-X22RQ).
However, I find the two processors cannot work together properly. The symptom is that there is no post or boot of the server. Login into the BMC and find the following error.
Machine Check Exception (MCERR) - Asserted

The two processors are supposed to be the same. Both are E5-2690, SR0L0. See the images:

I have tried the following configurations.
1. Test each of the processors. Each of them can work properly, if no processor is placed in the second socket.
2. Leave only one memory stick for each CPU and remove all the other memory sticks. The two memory sticks are identical. Doesn't work.
3. Swap their sockets. See the same symptom (No matter which processor is placed in socket 0, I will see the same assert from processor 0). Doesn't work.
4. Try both processors on another machine (of the same type STRATOS S210-X22RQ), and see the exact same symptom. Doesn't work.
5. Update BIOS to the latest. Doesn't work.
6. Clear the BIOS. Doesn't work.
Now I suspect it probably can be the processor's issue. But I am not certain, because they seem to work fine individually and they are supposed to match with each other.
Is there any way to test if any one of the processors is defective (that prevents them from working together)? If it is the recently brought one, I may return it to the seller. If it is the original one, I may need to buy another one.
Or is there any other configuration that I could try? Thanks.
