Case Study: B7079 cannot boot up after replace CPU and upgrade BIOS version

Scenario:

The customer has multiple servers of this model with the same configuration and he asked to change the CPUs for something more powerful.

After changing CPUs, all servers started OK, but one went down and would not boot at all. The hardware was not visibly damaged.

BMC was reachable, so they tried to update BIOS from the BMC, and now even BMC doesn't respond.

What steps do you suggest we do to get the server back up and running?
