system. It also offers choices and recommendations to ensure you make the

The tape drive on the Cisco MeetingPlace 8112 server has been 

replaced with a CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive is used for upgrading 
from previous software releases. Instructions for retrofitting the CD-ROM is 
included in the upgrade kit. Please note the following:

•

Customers with 8112 units with the tape drive installed will need to have a 
CD-ROM retrofitted on their system before they can upgrade to 
Release 5.2.

•

Customers with 8112 units loaded with Release 5.2 fresh from the factory 
will receive their units with the CD-ROM already installed. These 
customers do not need to do anything.

•

Customers with tape drives who are upgrading to Release 5.2 will be 
contacted by Cisco Technical Support about having the CD-ROM retrofit 
done.

•

Customers not previously contacted should call Cisco Technical Support 
to arrange to have their retrofit done. Customers should not attempt to do 
the retrofit by themselves, even if they have the CD-ROM retrofit kit.

•

Channel partners who perform Release 5.2 upgrades on behalf of Cisco 
will need to contact Cisco Technical Support about training on how to 
retrofit the CD-ROM drive on 8112 servers with tape drives.

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or 
service this equipment. Statement 1030
