@Grilledice , welcome to the forum.
Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the workstation: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04897695
On Page 7, Workstation specifications, it lists the compatible processors. It states as follows: Support for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 v5 Family, sixth-generation Intel Core™ processors up to 95 W, or Intel Pentium® processors
This would not include the i5-9400f. These processors have been fully tested to assure they are compatible with the motherboard. Any other processors will most likely not work.
Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
