Lost newbie: My switch won't switch, M6220.

Hi,

I'm new to Dell's products. I just bough a used M1000e with M610 blades to train on but I'm having a heck of a time getting the M6220 switches to do anything. I have six M6620 switches, two of them I bricked when I followed the wrong firmware update procedure. They are trying to boot a bad image, I get no console going through the CMC, and I don't know how to switch boot image back to the old one since I can't get a console. I ordered a WY835 serial cable and I'm hoping that will let me fix it.

I managed to get the other four M6220 successfully updated to firmware 5.1.10.1. However, I can't get the switches to do any switching. Using the CMC I just tried "clear config", "mode simple", and "copy running-config startup-config" and it still won't switch. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
