subsequently searches configuration files stored in the

storage device reader, which reads configuration data from the
removable storage device inserted therein to thereby configure

teaching of allowing a server to search for a particular
configuration profile among configuration files stored in devices
connected to said server (column 6, lines 37 through 40) amounts
