Updating idrac

I have an old R720 server  that i need to reuse

Before i start reuisng it i wanted to update the firmware etc 

I downloaded the firmware file

 iDRAC-with-Lifecycle-Controller_Firmware_WH24V_WN64_2.40.40.40_A00

Extracted it and tried to upload the firmimg.d7 using the idrac Update and rollback

However it is stuck on Uploading 

I have tried resetting idrac couple of times , tried form different workstations but same results 

Any suggestion

    Unfortunately the server is in a Remote location with no easy physical access.

    I tried racadm.exe but still not able to upload the file.

    If somehow i was able to launch the virtual console , then i could try updating using the ISO you suggested , but whole trying to launch the console  i keep getting "connection Failed"
