OL-26412-01 
Overview 
At this stage, you are ready to download and install the software onto your system. 
Before you update your system software, review your system's health and take 
appropriate action to correct any problems. 
 
When Do You Begin Phase Three? 
Begin Phase Three of the installation process within 24 hours after completing Phase 
Two.  
This phase takes approximately 5 minutes per device to initiate the download 
process. The time for the set-top to load software varies as it depends on the 
configuration at the site. 
Important: You should complete Phase Three during a maintenance window.

You will need a secure GUI password. Use one of the following options to obtain the 
password: 
 
If you are a site that supports subscribers, then you can obtain a secure GUI 
password from Cisco Services. This provides Cisco Services with the opportunity 
to communicate known issues about the software as well as other information 
that may be needed before loading the software onto your network.  
 
If you are a software developer, Cisco Services can disable the secure GUI for 
you. Contact Cisco Services for more information on disabling the secure GUI. 
Note: Set-tops are designed to use specific software files and versions. Even with 
the secure GUI password disabled, you cannot associate files with a set-top that 
it was not designed to use.
