Currently the DL145 G2 is not well supported for various reasons. There's an issue with the pci shitz on this server which makes OBSD unable to detect cards seated in the expansion slots. Since this server is based on Nvidia (nForce4) chipset I guess it's not prio one to support it due to lack of documentation etc. So before you shop HP stuff make sure it's not fitted with Nvidia motherboards as in the case with DL 145G2.
