Oracle Solaris 11 install via live usb maintenance mode

Hello All,

I am attempting to boot and install Solaris 11 via live USB on a HP DL580 Gen9 Server.

Unfortunately, when I do this it boots into System Maintenance Mode.
The attachment (Pic1) shows what I am seeing via the console.

The BIOS is in UEFI boot. Does not work on legacy mode as I get a red screen with Illegal Opcode (attached Pic2).

Any ideas as to what can be done to install Solaris 11?

Thanks.
