The HP cards may or may not work in a Dell PowerEdge (or any other non-HP server). The custom firmware on the card may prevent them from working properly.
If you just get 'generic' Qlogic QLE2562 cards, they have a very high chance of working just fine in most/all modern servers from all brands.

So, we have some experience with this.
The QLogic QLE2562 works without issues.
However, I believe that Dell will not officially support the HP Qlogic QLE2562 Part Number.
Just as HP won't support a Dell QLogic QLE2562 Part Number on the Host Side.
Again, we use both without issue.
This is more an issue of giving support a reason to punt the ball.

Why not just pick up some Qlogic cards? These are much more likely to be compatible with any server as well as any SAN.
