Inadvertently reformatted N1524P
I was trying to reset an N1524P to factory defaults and inadvertently selected the option to reformat the filesystem instead.
Now the switch boots only to a u-boot menu. I tried to reload the firmware via TFTP, but I get an Error: Ethernet external port not connected.
I've found instructions to n2000 series but it has different specifications, as no 'oob port' or 'loady' command.
How can I recover this switch?

Hello!
thanks for contacting us.
Try to perform these steps
Download this firmware (it is not the latest one)
https://dell.to/32ZDgr9
in the zip file you have the pdf about how to upgrade the switch.
You can see page 9 Switch recovery Procedure
Please follow the procedure to recovery.
Thanks

Marco.
It doesn't have the " Boot Main Menu" option...
Only "u-boot" prompt...
