While I haven't tried this it should work: setup your system in Target Mode and then connect it to your Windows PC system running Samsung's Magician software. Or down load their image file for Mac onto a USB drive (Linux).

Or down load their image file for Mac onto a USB drive (Linux) and run it that way.
I suspect you got a returned drive. Where did you get it? Did you know it was an open box unit?
We have quite a few 840 EVO drives and have not needed to do this (we just upgraded 20 systems).
Don't forget to enable TRIM under the latest version of Yosemite, it makes a big difference!
