assuming nmap says there's a web server running, can you connect to
it? how did you run nmap against it? I'd think you would have to
create a dummy interface on the same network range to be able to
communicate to it. I suspect something like a service
processor/ilo/rilo/whatever HP calls their management interface.
could you have powered the machine up first then waited a little while
before putting network cables in, esp in the one labeled 'mgmt'?
