Installation Overview

About software and firmware files

A new S8300 Media Server comes with a blank hard drive. The G700 components should have
current releases of firmware installed. It may be necessary to install a service pack on the
S8300 after installing the Communication Manager software, and/or to upgrade the G700 and
media module firmware.
Communication Manager software is distributed on a CD-ROM that you take to the site.
Additional files that may be needed are the most recent versions of the software service pack
file and G700 firmware files. You may need to obtain these files from the Avaya Support web
site.
About access to the Communication Manager software
distribution CD

on the Communication Manager software distribution CD that you take to the customer site.
Place the CD in an external USB CD-ROM drive connected to one of the USB ports on the

This chapter describes the upgrade procedure using the laptop CD-ROM drive as source of the
