Downloaded installation files for IBM licensed products -- what to do?

My Fellow Geeks:
Anybody familiar with how IBM packages and ships LPPs electronically, and how to deal with such shipments?
We've obtained some installation files for IBM Licensed Products (the AS/400 server for Websphere Business Integration, and some pre-requisites) and I'm not entirely sure what we're supposed to do with them. Are we supposed to FTP them somewhere onto the target box, or are we supposed to burn them onto a CD-R and load them from the CD drive? 

(And yes, as soon as I send this, I'm going to RTFM!)
Yes, we package and distribute our own products electronically, but they're just ordinary save files, or in the case of QuestView, an inner save file packaged with an installation program in an outer save file, all of which evolved from packaging systems we devised for tape and "DistributeIt" floppy disks.
