This card WILL NOT work in any HP Workstation.  I purchased a card based on the HP Expert and discovered his advice to be wrong.

This is correct - the motherboard is required to have a special TB3 header and associated bios options for enabling TB3. It works on a select number of Asus motherboards and perhaps also on some other boards which fulfill these requirements.
