Dell VRTX Network Issue

We have recently moved offices and I have the responsibility of bringing our Dell VRTX with 2 x M630 Blades back online.

During the move, I swapped out our Firewall, switches and router to a Meraki MX68 and replicated the IP range we used on the old network.

Each M360 has Windows Server 2012 R2 installed running Hyper Visor with several VM's between them.

I can access the admin of all the VRTX components, the chassis, The servers & The Switch module, through the web interface and I can also Log in using the Dell Remote console to each of the Blades

My issues is that both instances of Windows server fails to connect to anything outside of the chassis. the can all communicate with each but nothing on the network or internet. 

Anything on the main network can communicate with each over and the internet but nothing within the chassis.

I did have Static IP's setup on the NIC's but I have reverted these to being DHCP to try and rule out any IP conflicts etc.

Each server has 2 NIC's set to auto. They also have a virtual NIC setup by the Hyper V which allows all the VM's to communicate with each other as well as the Servers.

The RJ45 connections on both our MX68, and VRTX module, have blinking lights so I know there's some sort of active connection.

The Firmware version on the switch is 1.0.0.62. I have attempted to update to a few different versions through SSH but met with the following error messages "Copy: Illegal software format" & "Wrong boot file format"

Here is the output from the switch admin. Ignore Server slot 3 as we do have another blade there but it's not in use and powered off.

There are no LAG settings set up.

Here is the port configuration

Any advice on where to start looking would be appreciated. If any more info is needed to assess the situation then please let me know.

Thank you in advanced,
