Run the firmware updates from a Server OS, as client OS's are not supported for the majority of the server management tools.
You will need to purchase the integrated version of the card. There is an adapter version (can go in any (almost) available slot) and an integrated version (that goes in the dedicated storage slot in machines that have them). I think some may have found a way to force the flash to a different firmware version, but if I remember right, it was pretty hit/miss whether the card survived the flash at all or not.
In any event, force-flashing can't be done from Windows … you'll need run the unpackaged versions from a DOS or Linux environment.
