You need a CD Writer. The Adaptec CD Writer software will usually burn
it straight onto a CD for you.

You then boot the machine off the CD (I think) and it formats the hard
disk, sets itself up and lets you configure it.

It's a dedicated firewall/gateway. It will format your hard disk if
you let it.
