The appliance is dead. It should still be covered under warranty.

Hello Sr,
It is possible that we may a faulty appliance nevertheless try the next action plan:
1- Change the config register to 0x2102
--Check the settings
rommon>set
--Clear the current boot variable
rommon>unset boot
rommon>confreg 0x2102
rommon>reset
If does not fix the issue follow step 2:
2- Connect the management port to access a tftp server.
You will see a message that a physical link is established
--Issue the set interface gi1 or fa1
--rommon>set interface fa1 x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
DG to use to get to the TFTP server
--rommon>set ip route default x.x.x.x
3- Check that the configs which have been made and test connectivity
rommon>set
rommon>ping x.x.x.x
4- Once the ping to the tftp is successful, you can issue the boot tftp to specify the image:
rommon>boot tftp://x.x.x.x/
If the switch comes up we need to copy the image onto the bootflash and change the boot variable again and wr
RMA will the last option if no luck.
