Component system
For a component system, the Unity software is purchased from
Cisco or from a Cisco dealer. The other required software, the
server, voice and fax boards, and other components may also be
purchased from Cisco or a Cisco dealer, or they may be pur-
chased from another vendor.
If you are installing Unity as a component system or if you are
installing ActiveFax on a separate fax server, the Installation
Guide documents how to install software on a server that came
with a blank hard disk. If the appropriate version of Windows
NT/2000 or other required software has already been installed,
you can skip the corresponding Installation Guide section. See
the “Next section” table at the end of the skipped section to
determine which section you do next.
