You can use HP ILO to upgrade its own firmware, by uploading the firmware file (e.g. ilo4_255.bin) via ILO web console. This is straight forward and clear.
If HP said Window Server 2008 R2 is not supported on HP DL380-G4, you will get no support from HP if you do want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 on it. By the way, this is not a Windows system issue, it is recommend that you contact HP for more details. Thanks for your understanding. Best Regards, Vincent Hu.

Hi, we run hundreds of HP-Servers, some of them older ones. Now we want to install Win2008 using virtual media mapping. Unfortunately ILO Firmware1.84 does not support DVD Iso images (not booting). Where can we download newest iLO Firmware for Proliant DL380 G4? I wasted half a day searching b. I have found a driver on the hp drivers download page but the file type is a.exe so i am unable to lauch it. Hp dl380 g4 06:21 AM. HPE iLO arms you with the tools to manage your servers efficiently, resolve issues quickly, and keep your business running – from anywhere in the world. Featuring the latest innovations in simplified operations, performance, and security, HPE iLO allows you to manage your entire server environment with ease.
But the ILO can do much more (but this is really a bit hidden in the web interface). From the help notes:
iLO firmware
System ROM (BIOS)
Chassis firmware (SL and XL servers)
Power Management Controller
System Programmable Logic Device (CPLD)
NVMe Backplane Firmware
EdgeLine Chassis Controller Firmware
So besides the 'ILO firmware' (which is quite clear) you can also update the firmware of a lot of other components as well (which was not quite clear to me). This is not really made clear on the ILO firmware page itself. When you go to
Hp Proliant Dl380 G4 Ilo Firmware Download
Administration > Firmware
you see 'ILO Firmware' as title, so it is not apparent to you that you can put many different firmware types in the 'File' field.
I tried to update the the System ROM and put the following file in the 'File' field:
CPQP7812.C7C
Hp Proliant Dl380 G4 Drivers
It indicated that is was uploading the file and then installing it. Then it just switched back to the Firmware page. No result message. Scrap mechanic game for pc.

So I checked and I saw that still the old System ROM was installed. Only after I restarted the server, the new version was displayed. Here, the help file comes in handy again:
System ROM (BIOS) - Requires a server reboot.
Chassis firmware (Power Management) - Requires a chassis reset, which is triggered automatically.
System Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) - Requires a server reboot.
Power Management Controller, EdgeLine Chassis Controller Firmware, and NVMe Backplane Firmware - Do not require a server reboot or a system reset.
While this firmware types can also be installed via Windows executables, the install via ILO comes in handy, when you don't have Windows installed.
The cool thing about the install via ILO is also that it automatically detects from the file, which component it has to update.
