Two Identical Service Pack CDs
Your software binder includes two identical DBDS service pack CDs. One is for
installing the service pack and Daylight Saving Time (DST) software on the Digital
Network Control System (DNCS); the other is for installing DST software on the
Application Server. The installation process is designed so that you can install the
DST software on the Application Server at the same time you are installing service
pack and DST software on the DNCS. By installing these two sets of software in
parallel, you save time and minimize how long system components are down. The
instructions in Chapter 3 guide you through the steps.
