DVI and HDMI are electrically the same signal for video with different connectors. Connect the DVI output on the server to the HDMI input on the TV using either a DVI to HDMI cable or a DVI to HDMI adapter and a regular HDMI cable. You can get an adapter setup that will inject audio into the HDMI signal too if you want.

Deepsurplus.com is a great source for cabling and related needs. Used them many times and always been extremely happy.
