Both Dell Networking N3000 and N2000 Series switches share the same firmware image file (N3000_N2000v6.2.1.6.stk). If your N3000 series switch has an earlier version of firmware (6.0.0.7 or 6.0.0.8 or 6.0.1.3), upgrade your switch to the latest version of firmware version 6.2.1.6 as it contains multiple bug fixes and enhancements.
After upgrading the switch firmware version to 6.2.1.6, the boot code update is required on N3000 series switches via serial console if switch is running with the older boot code version. The latest boot code version available for N3000 series switches is “U-Boot SPL 2012.10-00078-g24e99ea (Jun 24 2014 - 16:41:18)"
