This guide provides step-by-step instructions for upgrading a Cisco Digital 
Broadband Delivery System (DBDS) to System Release (SR) 4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2). 
Sites that use this guide to upgrade must currently support SR 4.0.  

Upgrade software installed through this guide is provided in the form of CDs. This 
is not a UniPack upgrade guide. 

 
 

These release notes and installation instructions pertain to sites that support either 
the Cisco Resident Application (SARA) or another resident application. 

 

These release notes and installation instructions are written for system operators of 
Cisco’s DBDS, as well as for Cisco engineers who install the SR 4.0 SP2 software onto 
a Digital Network Control System (DNCS) and a Cisco Application Server.
