"recovery CD" here just means "bootable disk with some sort of minimal OS on it that isn't the OS installed on the system" - don't get hung up on the word recovery. Recovery or rescue disk is a common name for these things; it's just that in this case the purpose is to have some specialised tools for firmware updates plus a firmware update file of some kind rather than for rescuing or recovering a problem with the installed OS.
