Gen 8 Microserver not able to access Smart Array (ie pressing F5)

Hi all,

I am unable to access the Smart Array configuration when booting my Microserver Gen 8.

Smart Arrat is ticked (blue) Smart Array advanced is not..

After identifiying the volumes, the message F5 to smart array is displayed.

When I press F5, the graphical layout changes to just text, and it says

The HP Array Configurarion utility (ACU)  will start automatically.

It says that there is an ilo error - is this relevant?

Then sometimes it goes to a black screen with flashing cursor. sometimes it tries to reboot from NIC,  and fails.

Any suggestions? Many thanks.
