Can i update the HP Proliant DL180 Generation 1 Processor with:
Intel Xeon E5405 (12M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) or
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5130 (4M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
Is it possible and save to use different size of FSB for Processor/Motherboard? My motherboard has 1066 FSB but those processors have bigger FSB value?

The processor FSB can't have a higher frequency than motherboard's FSB. You should check for a BIOS update to see if your motherboard supports that FSB frequency.
If that's not possible, you'll have to "underclock" your processor.
Read more about FSB on Wikipedia.

What might happen? Could it damage the motherboard/processor? Thanks. – user2577399 – 2014-06-20T10:21:00.837
@user2577399 It won't boot or if it does the system will hang frequently. It could potentially destroy your motherboard. – Cornelius – 2014-06-20T10:22:12.810

What processors support your motherboard? You should check the list of the manufacturer. Typically newer processors will be supported by BIOS updates. – VMai – 2014-06-20T10:05:21.010
That is the problem, i couldn't find any documentation for the Generation 1. – user2577399 – 2014-06-20T10:07:07.990
