Hello Zhang,

Both the LP1000r and LH6000r do NOT support Windows Server 2003. There is a NOS support matrix available at the following location:

Typically, these systems used the Intel 10/100 based adapters. At one stage, HP used a customised version of the Intel driver and teaming software but later switched to using the standard Intel supplied driver, including for teaming.

Assuming you've installed Windows Server 2003 and found it stable for your needs on these platforms, then I suggest you use the Intel driver and teaming software. I'd have a look at the files as per the location below:
