Prerequisites
You can install NNP and ICSP Network Appliance with either the USB image or the CD image.
Note: If you are upgrading your ICSP system and have already rolled out the Agent component make sure that you have a copy of the key file.
You can export it through the ICSP user interface in USB > Import/export key file. You will need to import it again after reinstalling ICSP
or your agents will reject all scanned media.
1. Installing using the usb image :
You will need a bootable USB thumb drive at least 2 GB or larger in size, a keyboard, a monitor, and the USB image provided by Blue Coat
1.1 Flashing the USB storage device with the ICSP-USB image
Use win32diskimager (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) to write the USB image (not the CD ISO) to the USB storage device. This will erase and overwrite all content of the storage device.
1.2 Booting from USB device
Power off the NNP or ICSP appliance. Plug in the USB thumb drive in one of the available USB ports. Plug in the Keyboard and monitor. Now power on the appliance and keep pressing the F11 key on the keyboard until you are presented with the Boot Manager menu. Then select the USB drive from the available boot devices.
2. Installing using the CD ISO image
2.1 Burning the ISO image to a CD-R
Use any CD burning software that supports writing ISO image files.
When burning completes make sure the CD burning software unpacked the content of the ISO and did not just burn the image as a single file to the CD-R
2.2 Booting the NNP/ICSP Network Appliance from CD
While booting the appliance hold the F11 for the Boot menu.
Once the Boot Menu Manager loads, select the optical drive and continue.
