I guess CentOS 6.6 is not supported on this server, please check the CentOS minimum hardware matrix from HP.

To answer the original question, no, there is not a supported way to put the DVD on a bootable USB key.  I've tried various methods found searching the Internet, but have not found one that works 100%. There are even some instruction from Red Hat that explain how to do it but they are flawed. ( I don't recall why, it's been a year or two since I've visited this subject)
