Make a bootable USB stick, needs to be DOS bootable for the flasher etc to work, there are number ways to do it, ask Google

Download the files I have compressed over here

Self Extract the files somewhere, then place onto the USB stick

Turn machine off grab the SAS address of the card, it's on the back on a green sticker (ie 500605B0xxxxxxxx)

Turn machine in (with card back in) choose USB stick at boot option, for all the below it is assumed you are booted to USB stick in the directory with the files from download.
