I created a DOS usb stick and was able to run the BIOS update file, but I got an error message that it was for 'Fuji' and not 8400 so the BIOS wasn't updated.
That GXa BIOS file is for the Optiplex GXa and NX models, not for the Dimension 8400 and it's over 12 years old (2000) while the last version of BIOS (A09) for the Dimension 8400 is from 2006.

The latest official BIOS update for the Dell Dimension 8400 is here www.dell.com/.../dimension-8400
And the file is called 'D8400A09.EXE'
Are you sure the file you are trying to run is even an official Dimension 8400 BIOS?
