Installing the Cisco IPICS Server Software at the Server

To perform the Cisco IPICS server software installation, you must have the

Cisco IPICS installation CD that was included with your product package.

Caution Make sure that you only perform system date changes before you install the Cisco IPICS software. Cisco IPICS does not support any modification of the system date in the operating system after the Cisco IPICS software has been installed. Therefore, it is very important that you check your system date to ensure that it properly reflects your local date and time. If the system date is not properly set to your local date and time, you must adjust it before you install the

Cisco IPICS software. If you try to change the system date and time after you install the software, you will invalidate your license and cause the system to become inoperable.
