Is that a "thin client"?

The BIOS should not see/detect the card "per-se" (adapter device is 
handled transparently by the system) but in a normal situation¹ you 
should be able to boot from IDE devices -whatever IDE bus has attached on 
it-, is that is your goal.

I would ask HP about this. You may need a special/concrete adapter or 
juts it is not even an option.

Also, check is the adapter is "in good shape" and works in another system.

¹ Normal situation: I mean, using a standard BIOS/motherboard. HP -as 
many integrators do- modify/adapt computer BIOS to play nice with their 
systems. Being this a "thin client", I would expect even a more 
integration performed by the manufacturer.
