To transfer an upgrade to your Cisco Secure ACS appliance, follow these steps:
Step 1 If the distribution server uses Microsoft Windows, follow these steps:
a. If you have acquired the upgrade package on CD, insert the CD in a CD ROM
drive on the distribution server.

autorun is enabled on the shared CD drive, the HTTP server included in the
upgrade package runs on the other computer, not the distribution server.
b. If either of the following conditions are true:
• You have acquired the upgrade package as a compressed file.
• Autorun is not enabled on the CD ROM drive.
locate the autorun.bat file on the CD or in the directory that you extracted the
compressed upgrade package in and run it.
Result: The HTTP server starts.
Step 2 If the distribution server uses Sun Solaris, follow these steps:
a. If you have acquired the upgrade package on CD, insert the CD in a CD ROM
drive on the distribution server.
