HP Proliant Series

Hi all,

Does anybody have some experience with HP Proliant DL380 G5?
 Is it
compatible with FreeBSD (in particular 6.2)?  Following is
the hardware
configuration:
CPU: Intel Xeon 5160 (2 GHz, FSB 1333)
RAM: HP 4GM PC2-5300 DDR2
HDD: 2 x 72GB 3G SAS (15K)
Storage Ctrlr: HP Smart Array P400/256
NIC: Broadcom 5721 PCI-Express

TIA,

Same model, with slightly different CPU and NIC (2x E5355
and BCM5708), 
installed 6.2 with no problems.

We run FreeBSD64 AMD build on HP DL320 G5 and it works
great.

But we use the embedded SATA chip on the MB, not the HP
SmartArray
card.  I'm interested in your experiences with the
SmartArray card.
