You need to get both the firmware and a supported upgrade test tool from IBM Fix Central. You may need to get a support contract in order to do this as only systems under valid support are eligible for this.
7.4.0 is VERY old and end of support. It will have a number of unfixed security and feature issues. The 5XX is also very old and end of support.
My recommendation is actually to replace this system and migrate to supported Hardware and Software.

Hi, I even found the firmware, but without the test file it won't let me run the update
