Look at Spec Based requirements on the link provided by Ronak, spec based does not list specific servers but rather outlines what the specs of the HP/IBM/Dell/etc servers  need to be. As long as your hardware is within those specs you are OK. Also, take a note of VMware licensing requirements for spec based deployments.

HTH,
