Im trying to update the bios on an old poweredge r730 server though when i navigate to the other formats .efi file to download I get a series of jumbled text. Where can I find the bios update. here is the link.

Steps to perform BIOS recovery:
Check the LCC job queue, and delete all jobs to stop any interfering the BIOS recovery.
This can be performed from the iDRAC web GUI from Maintenance -> Job Queue. Select all jobs and click the "Delete" button.
SSH to iDRAC and run the command: racadm recover BIOS.Setup.1-1
In the LCC log, a message ID of UEFI0298 with description of "The BIOS Recovery process is started" should be present.
After a few minutes, the system will power on from a recovery ROM image. The boot screen displays the "[Recovery BIOS]" text.
The system then performs a BIOS update to flash the primary ROM. This is completed with the full BIOS image that is stored in iDRAC from the last successful BIOS update performed from iDRAC/LC.
Once the BIOS flash completes, the system should restart and boot from the primary ROM image. The LC log should show "UEFI0299: The BIOS Recovery process is completed".
Once BIOS is recovered, it will come up as a new system board detected as seen below in figure 10 and the standard easy recovery process applies.
Press Y to start restore process.
The server will restart and then it will show the "The system content was successfully restored."
Press Y again and the server will restart multiple times
