Ways to Configure Multiple Bootloader Carousels
Here are a few examples of how you might configure your bootloader carousels:
Put CableCARD module images on a separate carousel from DHCT images.

Because CableCARD module images are smaller, the carousel cycle time is
lessened. As a result, the CableCARD modules receive their images quicker.
Put larger images on one carousel and smaller images on the other carousel. The

carousel that carries only the smaller images allows the receiving device (DHCT
or CableCARD module) to get the smaller image in less time because it is not
impacted by being interleaved with the larger content.
If you need to send an image out to a device population quickly, you might

create one carousel to carry this image.
Note: Faster downloads can sometimes be realized by increasing the data rate for the
existing 199 bootloader carousel. Keep in mind that this strategy works only when
using DHCTs (set-tops) that support download data rates greater than 10 Mbps.
