FixIT:

If your HP server will not complete the startup cycle, check the log. If you see “BOOT_CPU_FAILED” follow the instructions below to remedy your problem.

In addition to the CPU failure in the log, an amber-colored LED may further indicate internal health issues with your server. The amber light shows you have an internal problem, and if you see BOOT_CPU_FAILED in the log, it’s safe to assume your issue lies within the CPU. Go into test mode in the error logs, and within a few errors of the error code” BOOT_CPU_FAILED,” you will find a processor socket number. This number signifies your problem CPU, and you should replace it immediately. Exchanging the problem CPU for a new one should solve your dilemma and get you back up and running.
