Question about R240 new processor

Question

Hello all, I have a PowerEdge R240 server with G4900 processor and 250W Bronze PSU initially installed. Recently I installed E2278G processor, but when i turned it on, only power and fans are running, makes no booting up. And when I check iDRAC Web UI, it keeps displaying it as G4900 only. Will it be because I need 450W Platinum PSU for  E2278G processor? Or I need specific configuration for it? If you don't mind, please take a look at my iDRAC screenshots below for details. Thank you for all your valueable helps ahead!

Hello thanks for choosing Dell.I checked internally and The CPU you wish to use is a E2278G 8 core -> you need a 450W. Hope this helps and wish you a good one.

I was hoping to purchase M4KV7 or 6571F for 450W PSU for R240-> R430 parts are not compatible for R240, I'm afraid. For the correct part purchase please visit https://dell.to/3wbyYLy

Thank you once again for your great help!
