Using MacBook Install DVD on Mac Pro?

There have been a lot of strange things happening with a Mac Pro (10.6.4) I was recently assigned at work. Multiple external drives have become unreadable (even when I try them on other computers) At this point, I'd like to basically wipe it and start over - to be as clean as possible. Is this the best way to do that? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910?viewlocale=en_US

The only discs I can find at my company are MacBook Pro OS X Install DVDs. Can I use one to re-install OS X on the Mac Pro?
