Hi.
Excuse me if you think I shouldn't be here, I'm not an IT guy I'm a private person with a 385 that was gifted to me and I would like to use. I've tried Redditt and I'm still stuck.
I have networked my home; 4 x cat 6 ports per room in 4 rooms. In the loft I have a 6u cabinet containing the patch panel, a 24 port managed switch, a power strip, my router, modem and injector for a Ubiquity WAP which is hidden downstairs. It all works flawlessly.
As I was doing it I received a blade server as a gift. It was being recycled from a school as they upgraded. I'm told it has been wiped and left with a copy of server 2008 but I haven't been able to look that far to see in it. It's a ProLiant DL385p Gen8 with 8Gb ram, one processor and 2 x (300ish?) gb drives.
My problem is that I can remotely access iLO4 but cannot remotely access the operating system, if any.
My question is, what facalities do I need to be able to do so? An advanced license? A monitor attached to the server? Specialist softare on my day to day win 10 PC? Something else?
My hardware setup is as follows.
I have put the server on a shelf near the 6u and plugged the iLO input jack into the patch panel. I have placed another cable into jack 1 of the four jacks on the rear. It's powered up and idling quietly. From my router I can see two related entries. One is called "FILE-SERVER" on 192.168.1.23 and the other called "ILOCZJ41600P6" on 192.168.1.22.
Opening Chrome I enter 192.168.1.22 and see the iLO login screen. The username and password is on the case and works. I am in to iLO 4 and can see the hardware stats etc. All green.
It has a Licensing page, on which it states I do NOT have an advanced license. Do I need one to access the O/S from my desktop?
"Licensing iLO Advanced or iLO Advanced for BladeSystem enables true Lights-Out Management by enabling many features:
- Authentication: Directory integration, Kerberos with Two-Factor authentication, HP Single Sign-On
- Remote Console: Virtual KVM (Integrated Remote Console), Console capture, replay, and share, Text Console
- Virtual Media: Image, CD, floppy, USB-key, scripting, folder...."
If they help I have images and screenshots on my Imgur account in a hidden album.
Many thanks if you can help. I'm in the UK and doing some decoration so I won't be back to read this for a while. Don't think I'm ignoring any replies.

{Edit} I forgot to add that if I try to log in to the other IP by entering the IP address in the URL bar of Chrome, the FILE-SERVER on 192.168.1.23, I just get a failure screen.

192.168.1.23 took too long to respond.
