It is most likely you have purchased RDIMM's (8gb) which cannot be mixed with the current 2gb UDIMM's. The system will not pass POST with them mixed. The server will support up to 24gb using 2gb UDIMM's and up to 192gb using RDIMM's.
We looked up the part number on the 2GB chips and they came up as RDIMM's. The ram sticks we purchased are RDIMM's as well. Is it possible that the part number on the old ram is incorrect or something?
I don't know if the website I found them on previously was incorrect or i must have mis-typed the part number for the old ram (which is Hynix HMT125U7BFR8C-H9) and it IS a UDIMM, not an RDIMM, so your first response was correct. I apologize.
