You need to define static IP's in darcut format on the kernel boot command line now since 7. Look at the kickstart instructions for fedora for details.
Right or wrong the idea behind it is that with IPv6 coming in the future every one should be using DHCP every where.

Peter,
Did you solve your problem? I'm going to be doing an http install of
CentOS 7 tomorrow on a subnet with no DHCP server, and I'll see where
configuring the static IP is in the installer (I'm pretty sure I know
where it is; there is a configure button on the Network & Hostname page
of the installer, and configuring a static IP is done there).

There is no dhcp available in that environment (Hetzner root server in Germany). With previous installation I remember the installation started nevertheless and I could configure a static IP configuration as part of the installation process. Unfortunately, I didn’t found any opportunity to define a static IP prior to the installation process aborting.
