SP2 yes can be installed. However Storage Server is an OEM product and as

such supported only by HP (in this case) and not Microsoft. You may want to

see if HP has released a blessed version of SP2. As for R2 you will need to

get an upgrade pack from HP. For some hardware they never released updates

however.

I agree with Brian, but as it is a new server install, give it a try and

install R2+SP2 straight way.
