Asus WS-C246 Pro issues

Building a server for home use. Started with an i3-9100 as it was cheap and had ECC support. Got it up and running with little issues. Decided to upgrade the CPU to a Xeon E-2144G...

Build:
Super Flower Leadex III 650W 80+ Gold
Asus WS-C246 Pro BIOS updated to 1901
x2 970 EVO SSD m.2
x2 MTA18ASF2G72AZ-2G3 Micron 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC UDIMM

I get Q-code 96, 9A and 24 most repeatedly.

Tried with just boot drive only, no change.

Only a chepo keyboard and mouse connected. Unplug both and no change.

Re-seated RAM and CPU a number of times, separately or at same time. Ram in different slots also. No change.

Put the i3-9100 back in and nothing what so ever wrong. Xeon Dead CPU or is there something I'm missing to run a Xeon?

That's correct, swap cpu's and attach your cooler, it should fire right up. As Silent Scone@ROG mentioned, the Xeon E-2144G should work with bios version 0502 or later.
