CAUTION:
CAUTION: When you are upgrading the media server as a primary controller, you must
check Product Support Notice #739U for the supported upgrade paths. If you
attempt to upgrade the media server to a release that is not supported as an
upgrade path, you might corrupt the translations.
Also, you must check PSN #739U for compatibility of software loads between the
primary controller and any LSPs or ESSs. If the software loads of the primary
controller and the LSPs/ESSs are incompatible, then file synchronization
between the primary controller and the LSPs/ESSs can cause translation
corruption on the LSPs/ESSs.
To check PSN #739U, from any computer, access http://support.avaya.com.
Select Product Support Notices > View All Documents > PSN #739U.

CAUTION:
CAUTION: If you follow the upgrade procedures in this document, the SAMP card boot
timeout in the S8500B does not usually timeout during an upgrade. As a result,
you do not have to disable the SAMP boot timeout prior to an upgrade.
However, if you do not follow the upgrade procedures in this section, but instead,
upgrade the software using a telnet session and the remastering program, you must
disable the SAMP boot timeout first. See "Disabling the boot timeout on Release 3.1
using the SAMP Web page" in the Using the Avaya Server Availability Management
Processor (SAMP), 03-300322.
Inserting the Communication Manager CD-ROM into the media
server
Insert the CD-ROM that contains Communication Manager into the CD-ROM drive on the media
server. Close the tray.
Note:
Note: You can copy Communication Manager software from an http or tftp server onto
the media server. In this case, skip this step.
