Dell PowerSwitch N2048 Stack Firmware Help

Hello! We have 3 N2048 stacked we need to update the firmware. However, even after a successful upload and stack transfer, the firmware is not reflecting in show version. I've reloaded the Stack as well, but still same problem.

Latest Firmware Available:6.7.0.4.

STACK>show bootvar Image Descriptions active : backup : Images currently available on Flash unit active backup current-active next-active ----- ------------ ------------ ----------------- ----------------- 1 6.3.2.3 6.3.2.3 6.3.2.3 6.3.2.3 2 6.3.2.3 6.3.2.3 6.3.2.3 6.3.2.3 3 6.3.2.3 6.3.3.9 *[?]* 6.3.2.3 6.3.2.3

So even with a successful upload and distribution of the firmware to the stack, the current firmware still shows listed. I am new to managing the PowerSwitches but I am just going off the PDF detailing the process contained in the firmware download zip. I am connected via telnet and not console. Stack looks good
