206Chapter 17 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 functions only on a BCM system that does not have a keycode applied. After a keycode 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.

Refer to the following sections for information on setting the initial parameters on the BCM system:

•“Startup Profile requirements”

•“Configuring basic parameters” on page 207
