i do not have any specific knowledge about that unit but it appears to be a
blade so it would require an enclosure.  also it appears to be for opteron 8000
series; the best of that series that passmark (cpubenchmark.net) lists is 8439
se which has a somewhat insipid score.
  also what alain mentioned, and that these servers sometimes have proprietary
drivers.  using linux flavors could be problematic.
