searching, by the BMC, for platform-specific files in a storage of the BMC based on the detected platform type;
determining, by the BMC, whether the platform-specific files are present in the storage of the BMC; and
when the platform-specific files are present in the storage of the BMC:
reading, by the BMC, the platform-specific files from the storage of the BMC; and
initializing, by the BMC, a service using the platform-specific files read from the storage of the BMC.
