If this is a G1 server (white/beige-colored DL580 with Compaq logos), the BIOS is actually supposed to be a special partition on the hard drive. This is installed via the appropriate Compaq Smart Start CD of the era (v5.x, I think). Without this system partition or the Smart Start CD, you won't have BIOS access.
