GSM7352Sv2 No Operational Code

Received this switch second hand, appears to be EOL. Switch did not come with operational code, images, or backup images and boots straight to Boot Menu.

NetGear Boot code......
Version 01.00.33 02-03-2011

CPU Card ID: 0x508541

ActiveImage could not be found

Unable to open image1
 active image failed crc check. activating backup image
No Backup Image available.
Failed to activate Backup Image.
Operational code CRC is invalid.

[Boot Menu] 5

Please enter file name on USB Flash drive '/bd0/file name'): gsm73xxSv2-8.0.3.34.stk
Unable to read file "gsm73xxSv2-8.0.3.34.stk".
Error loading code...

From my understanding it appears I may need to use a .opr file, but I cannot find where those are hosted.

What sort of formatting does the USB flash drive need in order to be read? NTFS? FAT32?

Can this work, or do I need the mythical .opr file?

    ksmizzle,

     

    I just want to follow-up on this.  Were you able to download and try the .opr file you needed?  If yes, what are the results?

      DaneA , 

      Sorry for the delay on my response, but I found out this morning the switch was taken off my hands and is being returned.

      Thank you very much for your assistance, but I was not able to test that .opr file. I would like to believe it would have worked, but I did note the version on it was a bit lower than what was labeled on the device.

       

      V/r,
