According to the Intel documentation, only a select list of E5 XEON processors are compatible with the Intel 612 chipset in the Z840 motherboard.
XEON E7 processors are not compatible with the chipset.

That is interesting, considering the HP documentation shows the Intel 612 Chipset.
See the HP document at the hyperlink below.

Are you certain that you have an HP Z840 workstation?
You should be able to verify that in the system information dialogue window or in the BIOS.
