Loading the BCM Image from a CD-ROM drive
To load the BCM Image from a CD-ROM drive, you must have a CD-ROM drive connected to the
Business Communications Manager system.
1 Connect the required equipment to the Business Communications Manager. For information
about how to connect the equipment, refer to “Connecting to the Business Communications
Manager” on page 13.
2 Turn on the monitor connected to the Business Communications Manager.
3 If you are using a USB CD-ROM drive, turn on the CD-ROM drive power switch.
If you are using an IDE CD-ROM drive, connect power to the Business Communications
Manager to power up the CD-ROM drive.
4 Load the BCM Imaging Tool CD into the CD-ROM drive connected to the Business
Communications Manager.
5 If you are using a USB CD-ROM drive, connect power to the Business Communications
Manager.
If you are using an IDE CD-ROM drive, reboot the Business Communications Manager by
disconnecting power from the Business Communications Manager and then reconnecting
power.
The Startup Menu appears.
Nortel Networks recommends that you load the same software version that is currently on
the Business Communications Manager system.
If you would like to change the software version, use the Business Communications
Manager Upgrade Kit after you have finished loading the BCM Image. The Upgrade Kit
includes additional updates that are not loaded when you use the BCM Imaging Tool.
For example, the Upgrade Kit for software version 3.5 includes a BIOS update that
enables USB support. If you used the BCM Imaging Tool to change the software version
from 3.01 to 3.5, the Business Communications Manager system would not get the update
required to support USB CD-ROM drives.
Tip: Loading the BCM Image from an IDE CD-ROM drive is much faster than loading
the BCM Image from a USB CD-ROM drive.
If you connected a USB CD-ROM drive to the Business Communications Manager, load
the BCM image using a shared network drive whenever possible. Loading the BCM
Image from a shared network drive significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to
load the BCM Image. (Loading from a USB CD-ROM drive takes approximately 65
minutes, while loading from a shared drive or IDE CD-ROM drive takes approximately 15
minutes.)
