You need to check the specifications for the CPU that is installed as it depends on the exact model of the Xeon CPU, if you want the memory to run at 1600MHz, See the '''Note''' at the bottom.
This is from p.8 of the [http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04076661|service manual]
“Memory Technology:
Dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) based on DDR3 1600MHz technology
Supports error checking and correcting (ECC) and non-ECC DIMMs
Two direct-attach memory channels enable low-latency access and fast data transfer for improved performance
Up to 32 GB system memory (8 GB DIMMs)
1600 MHz 2, 4, 8 GB ECC unbuffered DIMM
1600 MHz 2 GB non ECC unbuffered DIMM
'''NOTE:'''
''The processor controls the speed of the memory. If the processor only supports 1333 MHz memory, then memory will run at 1333 MHz regardless of the speed capability of the DIMMs. “''
