Question about Creative Sound Blaster Z

Can the ALU heat sink be removed for mounting in a ProLiant server? (Due to limited space at the end of the slot). Are the Creative drivers compatible with WindowsServer 2019 (exclusive 64-bit OS)? Can the sound card be run on an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server or are there better manufacturers than Creative?

The heat sink can be removed, but I don't know if it should be operated like this. The driver is not officially available for Server OS, I don't know the requirement but maybe the ASUS Xonar DGX (PCI-E x1) would be better, there would be the unofficial UNi driver that runs at least until Server 2016.
