First you need to download the ISO from VMware that has all the custom drivers preloaded for your server. See here for instructions (basically go to https://my.vmware.com and download it from there)

Secondly, you'll need to either burn the ISO to a disc, mount it using iDRAC or copy it to a USB drive. Etcher.io isn't the best for creating bootable ISOs, I've had some issues with it in the past. I'd recommend Rufus, it has always worked perfectly for me.
