BCM50 Hardware & Installation
76 NN40011-002 Issue 1.2 BCM50 Rls 6.0
Pre-Upgrade Activities
Before commencing the upgrade procedure, it is recommended that you
perform the following actions:
Create a backup of your current BCM configuration. If the upgrade
process fails, you should be able to retrieve the configuration. Refer to
the Backup and Restore Guide for further information.
Obtain a keycode file with the upgrade entitlement. This will need to be
applied to the BCM prior to performing the upgrade.
Obtain the Upgrade and Factory Image files. If they are still zipped,
extract them to a suitable location from which the BCM can access. A
suitable location could be:
o Your PC/laptop (i.e. the PC/laptop performing the upgrade via
Element Manager)
o A network folder accessible to the BCM
o A FTP server
o A http or https server
Note: It is not recommended to perform the upgrade via the USB port, as the
BCM50 USB port uses USB 1.1, i.e. the USB 1.1 data transfer rate would
extend the time of the upgrade process.
Checking the BCM50 Hardware Version
Early BCM50 models may exhibit problems or disruption during the upgrade
process, if the recommended procedures are not followed. If there is a
possibility that the BCM you are upgrading has a CSC hardware version 1,
check the hardware version using the following procedure and refer to the
BCM50 Upgrade Flow Charts section of this guide.
Use the following process to check the BCM CSC hardware version.
1. In the Element Manager Administration tab, open the General folder
and select Hardware Inventory.
