Dell PowerEdge R510 legacy offline firmware update upgrade and ESXi install

This is my personal notes on Dell PowerEdge R510 firmware upgrade, when DRAC is not an option.
Catalog update is not working anymore as they are out of support, so R510 is likely not added to catalog.
You need 3 disks
LiveUpdate disk
SBU disk
