You don't need to extract it. It's an installation image. You need to mount the ISO to your HP server using HP iLO and boot from it.

Just mount it to your server like any other bootable ISO image.

You can use HP Integrated Light-Out (iLO). It's an out-of-band management interface on HP server, which you can use to mount the ISO directly.

Otherwise, you can just burn it on a CD disk if that's easier.

You can use Virtual Media function in iLO. Please refer to HP iLO 4 User Guide.
