1.Login to your system Console port as Root.

2.Change to the root directory, using the following command: cd /root

3.Create a directory, using the following command: mkdir upgradepack-X.X.X-X

Where X.X.X-X, is the current software version. For this release X sequence is 2.1.4-17

4.FTP or copy the file called cos-upgradepack-ocode-AZZZ-Y.Y.Y-Y-X.X.X-X.shar.gz from your system Software CDROM or software package to the /root/upgradepack-X.X.X-X.

5.Change the directory to upgradepack-X.X.X-X, using the following command:
