You should be OK as the latest bios supports xeons

Version 1.82

 

Includes enhancements to mitigate security vulnerabilities CVE-2020-8670, CVE-2020-12357, and CVE-2020-24512.

HP strongly recommends promptly transitioning to this updated BIOS version.

Updates Intel processor microcode to 0xEA for Intel 6th generation Core processor product family and Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v5 product family.

Updates Intel processor microcode to 0xEA for Intel 7th generation Core processor product family and Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v6 product family.

Hi:

 

In addition to what BeemerBiker replied, the Hp Quickspecs for your PC indicates that the Intel® Xeon® processor
E3-1270v6 is a supported processor.

 

See page 3.
