just unboxed a brand new HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 Server.
I can reach the iLO webinterface but the Server hangs on the early system initialization on 90 % with the status code 0114.
I did not find any useful Information on the hp website.
Do you know what the status code mean?

So, after bringing a third system into the mix, and experiencing the same issue, we began to question the environment. I dug up a copy of the HP ProLiant Servers Troubleshooting Guide and found the POST problems flowchart shown below.
Carefully running through the steps in the chart, we realized that the one constant across all of the servers was a KVM switch attached to the data center crash cart. This was a consumer-class USB-enabled KVM. As per the highlighted node in the flowchart, Do you have known good KVM?, I could not answer conclusively.
So, we unplugged the servers from the KVM switch and ran an automated boot, sleep 300; reboot sequence in rc.local. The servers had no issues with this, regardless of the normal DIMM, low-voltage DIMMs, PSU wattage, etc.
This was all the result of a poor interaction with a USB KVM switch. By virtue that this was the console, it ensured we'd see the failure if we were looking for it. Self-fulfilling...
Trash it :) Buy another for $75 (or less) on eBay.
Why did you clear the NVRAM? Was there a problem with the server after you were able to boot Ubuntu?
The normal approach for this is to leave the system powered off for some time... attempt power-on again.
For the ILO, you may not have an immediate solution.
I'd suggest the "HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 4 Server Maintenance and Service Guide" as the next step.
Oh, also this gem from the ProLiant Troubleshooting Guide...

The problem is an incompatible DIMM module even though the memory module is sold from Kingston as HP compatible.
You can find at the HP SmartMemory Overview a list of compatible DIMMs
