Startup Profile Requirements - Nortel BCM50 Installation And Maintenance Manual

144 Chapter 15 Using the Startup Profile to configure parameters
Note: The USB storage device must be formatted for the FAT32 file system. If
necessary, reformat the USB storage device by plugging it into the USB port of
your computer, right-clicking the USB device icon, and selecting FAT32
reformatting. This destroys any data you had on the USB.
Note: The Startup Profile works only on a BCM50 system that has no keycodes loaded.
After the keycodes are loaded, the Startup Profile does not work. This condition prevents
unintentional overwriting of the parameters of a configured system.
Refer to the following sections for information on setting the initial parameters on the BCM50
system:
