Andrew,

I don't specifically have ML530's at work, but I've been using WBEL 3.0 on
Compaq / HP ML370's, DL360's & DL380's for quite some time.

The install will autodetect all of the appropriate hardware, but for HP SIM
Support, install the HP Proliant Support Pack 7.11 for RHEL3.  It
autodetects and installs drivers & management agents for your specific
hardware.

Before running the PSP install, you will need to create an
/etc/redhat-release and give the appearance of RHEL3.0 ( Red Hat Enterprise
Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 1) ) for the scripts to function properly.

Hope this helps...
