Hi
Yes needs to be FAT usb you can format it , FAT32 format works for me on my nx-os , then copy usb....... bootflash: to transfer the image

when the usb is recognized it will appear in logs and also in dir ? you will see the usb depending which slot you connected it as 7ks have multiple

As long as the USB stick is supported, it'll work.  

If you have a Nexus 7K, then Cisco would include a 2 Gb USB stick free with every purchase of a Sup card.  

A Samsung Bar also works beautifully (16 Gb).

If you stick the USB flash drive in, what does it say in the logs?
