Hi DELL-Young E

i changed baud rate to 115200 and use loady command to upload firmware file

I upload the firmware file N2000Stdv6.7.0.4.stk via Y-MODEM with Tera Term

Hi, as I can see your FW 6.7.0.4 please check pdf in this download file. When downloaded the file and extract it you can see "Upgrading Dell EMC Networking N2000 Series Switches to Version 6.7.0.4" document. In addition check this article as well.
