You may have more luck asking the Sun Rescue list:

http://www.sunhelp.org/mailman/listinfo/rescue

if it is a general hardware question.

The general proceedure is normally either from Solaris using the
provided tools or netbooting the firmware updater as you'd netboot a
kernel.  Your best bet is to check the documentation that comes with it.
