BCM 4.0 Installation Checklist and Quick Start Guide
6 In the Startup Profile editor, enter the remaining information that you want loaded onto the
BCM system.
The Startup Profile editor contains explanations of the various parameters. Click the cell where
you want to enter information, and the Help text appears.
You can specify which parameters to load onto your system by selecting Apply for the
parameters you want to load. If you do not want to load certain parameters, select Ignore.
7 When you have entered all the information, click the large button at the top of the Startup
Profile template to save a version of the Startup Profile (.sps file) and a version of the Startup
Profile editor (Excel spreadsheet) on your computer.
8 Exit from Microsoft Excel.
9 Insert the USB storage device into the USB port of the computer.
10 Copy the Startup Profile (.sps file) to the root directory of the USB storage device.
11 If you want to load your keycode using the Startup Profile, copy the keycode file to the 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.
12 Remove the USB storage device from the USB port of the computer.
The Startup Profile is now stored on the USB storage device.
13 Insert the USB storage device into the USB port of the BCM main unit before the BCM
system is powered up.
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 Table 10 for details about Startup
Profile times and LED status.
For more information on using the Startup Profile, refer to the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and
Maintenance Guide.
Warning: Do not use the Startup Profile on a functional BCM system. The
current parameter values will be replaced with those defined in the Startup Profile.
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.
