Updating bios without floppy drive

Picked up an old server and was looking to update the bios but seems it can only be done by floppy, wondering if there is another way before I pick up a drive?

server is a HP ProLiant ML110 G2

Has it got a RIB/iLO in it?

If so you can use the virtual devices and do it over the network.
Or see if they have a smartstart/firmware update CD ISO that will do all the hardware's firmwares in one hit.

Though this is coming from working on DL type servers, not ML.
