Install Solaris 10

Hi all,

Currently I wish to upgrade a server from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.
This server cannot access to internet. and will upgrade to Solaris 10 for testing purpose.
the data before that no need to backup. =)

My question is what is the proper way to upgrade the OS version?
is it just need to boot cdrom and direct install ?

below is the current server details:
Code:
root@leo # uname -a
SunOS leo 5.8 Generic_117350-46 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490
