If the memories remain unrecognized, the CPU will be a cause for concern.
Remove all of the memory from the Slots, and then carefully remove the CPU Cooler by loosening the screws
Once you have gained access to the CPU socket, unscrew the screws and carefully remove the CPU from the rail Kit. To prevent damage to the CPU socket pins, place a CPU cap on the CPU socket before removing the CPU.
After removing the CPU, remove the socket cap and inspect the CPU socket for damage. If any CPU Pin damage is discovered, immediately report it to the vendor or the dealer for the motherboard replacement, or if you are able to clear the Pin damage, do so with the vendor's approval.
If no CPU damage is discovered, gently reinstall the CPU after cleaning the CPU surface.
Reinstall the CPU heat sink and memories, then close the top cover and secure it with screws.
Once the hardware re-alien task is complete, turn on the system and verify that the CPUs and memories are correctly identified by the system through IPMI or BIOS.
