root directory of the USB storage device.
The name of the keycode file on the USB storage device must exactly match the filename you
entered in the Startup Profile editor.

The Startup Profile is now stored on the USB storage device.
To load the Startup Profile data onto the BCM system

2
Insert the USB storage device into the USB port on the main unit.

Turn on the power switch at the rear of the main unit.
The BCM system automatically detects the Startup Profile file and loads the information
during the bootup sequence. Loading the Startup Profile increases the time for the BCM
system to boot depending on the selected parameters. See
for details about Startup
Profile times and LED status.
The Startup Profile is not fully loaded until the system reboots.
3
Remove the USB storage device from the USB port on the BCM main unit. See
for
the appropriate point in the sequence to remove the USB storage device.
Note: The Startup Profile functions only on a BCM system that does not have a keycode
file applied. After a keycode file is applied, the Startup Profile does not function. This
condition prevents overwriting of the parameters of a configured system.
To re-apply the Startup Profile, remove the applied keycode file by returning the system to
factory defaults using the BIT tool.
