I understand that the Windows device manager sees the EVA HSV200 controllers as unknown devices.
You need to install the HP drivers for the Qlogic card (If it's on a Proliant I suppose it's HP).

Or use attached .inf files to register the HSV200 controllers correctly on device manager.

Command View must be connected to both controllers, or at least to the master one.
The ports on the EVA controllers must be set to direct connect mode (that's done from the controller display).

Can it install on DELL PC Server?

If it is a server running Windows 2003, with a supported HBA (not all HBAs are suppoted on direct connect mode), it may work.

And you'll need the .inf files attached above, as the Qlogic or Dell drivers, do not have the information about HP storage systems.
