Hi,
Windows Server operating system is supported on servers.
Windows 7 you may try to install for your curiosity but later it may blue screen because it cannot find Array controller or chipset drivers.
Thank You!

You can't find any Drivers for your Hardware components

Re: DL380 G5 windows 7 professional installation
Even though Windows 7 isn't supported on most ProLiant platforms it does have a driver that will work with most of the Smart Array controllers. I've never tested on a G5, if it sees the disks during installation, it should work. It may not have the drivers for the NICs, but most drivers for 2008 will work with Windows 7.

Re: DL380 G5 windows 7 professional installation
if you install an unsupported OS, you can't get support from HP technical support, also the New way to update your server for Critical firmmawre isn't supported under Windows 7

That statement is partially true. You get hardware support from HP regardless of what OS is installed, you can only get software support for supported OS's.
