To load the Startup Profile data onto the BCM50 system

1
Disconnect the power supply from the main unit.
2 Insert the USB storage device into the USB port on the main unit.
If the BCM50 system has a UPS, insert the USB storage device into the Linux-compatible
USB hub.
3 Connect the power supply to the BCM50 system.
The BCM50 automatically detects the Startup Profile file and loads the information during the
bootup sequence. Loading the Startup Profile adds approximately 5 minutes to the time for the
BCM50 to bootup.
If an error is generated, the status LED flashes red. View the log file (written to the USB
storage device) for a description of the Startup Profile errors. If there are no errors, the power
and status LEDs are solid green.
