That's because the NXOS image is unique to all 3 platforms: N3K, N3500, N9K.
Here are more details about the 9k-mode:
Also, you can see the difference of the commands here:
You will notice that only N3K has 3K mode and 9K mode:

What you are looking for is not available on Nexus 3500. This platform works in either warp mode (official name Algo Boost Engine which is the ultra low latency forwarding) or normal switching mode. You can use this command to see which mode is working.
switch# show hardware profile forwarding-mode ========================== forwarding-mode : warp ==========================
The 3K/9K mode is only applicable for Nexus 3000 or 3100 series.
Stay safe,
