A server operating system is very little different to a normal PC operating system. The server just contains the additional software necessary to make it into a server. (However if your PC hardware has been designed as a PROPER server you may find it has poor, or no, built in sound and a poor video display.)
Otherwise I see no reason why HW should not work on your server so I suggest you download and try the free HW software on your server and test that it works to your satisfaction. If it's OK you can then later upgrade HW to meet your requirements.
