Preface
Revised: April 22, 2013, OL-24206-01
This guide describes the system requirements, installation, upgrade, configuration, troubleshooting, and maintenance process for the Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3 (ACS 5.3).
ACS 5.3 consists of an ACS 5.3 server, Application Deployment Engine operating system (ADE-OS), and ACS 5.3 software.
The ADE-OS and ACS 5.3 software run either on a dedicated Cisco 1121 Secure Access Control System (CSACS-1121) Series appliance or on a VMware server. However, ACS 5.3 continues to support CSACS-1120 appliances that you have used for ACS 5.2 and that you would like to upgrade to ACS 5.3.
For VM-based installations, you need to configure the VM environment to meet minimal system requirements as well as install the ACS 5.3 software. The supported VMware versions are ESX 3.5, 4.0, i4.1, and 5.0.
ACS 5.3 is compatible with ADE-OS 1.2. If you are using ACS 5.1, you must upgrade to this ADE-OS version as part of the ACS 5.3 upgrade.
Warranty, service, and support information is located in the Cisco Information Packet that shipped with your appliance.
Audience
This guide is designed for personnel who install and configure the CSACS-1121 appliance, and install ACS 5.3 software on the CSACS-1121 appliance or on a VMware server, or who upgrade to ACS 5.3 with CSACS-1120 or a VMware server.
To use this hardware publication, you should be familiar with networking equipment and cabling, and have a basic knowledge of electronic circuitry and wiring practices.
