Cisco 5508 WLC software upgrade

I am planning to upgrade the cisco 5508 wireless lan controller software from 8.2.111.0 to 8.3.102.0

Reading through the instructions on steps to upgrade in release notes (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn83.html#pgfId-1318425) I came across this;

Note:
-------
In Release 8.3.102.0, for Cisco 2504 WLC, Cisco 5508 WLC, and Cisco WiSM2, the Cisco WLC software image is split into two images: the Base Install image and the Supplementary AP Bundle image. Therefore, to upgrade to Release 8.3.102.0, repeat Step 2 through Step 14 to complete the installation of both the Base Install image and the Supplementary AP Bundle image.

Download the Supplementary AP Bundle image only if you are using any of these APs: AP802, Cisco Aironet 1550 Series AP (with 64-MB memory), Cisco Aironet 1550 Series AP (with 128-MB memory), and/or Cisco Aironet 1570 Series APs.

For more information, see the “Changes in Images and Installation Procedure for Cisco 2504 WLC, Cisco 5508 WLC, and Cisco WiSM2” section.

Changes in Images and Installation Procedure for Cisco 2504 WLC, Cisco 5508 WLC, and Cisco WiSM2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to an increase in the size of the Release 8.3.102.0 Cisco WLC software image, the Cisco 2504 WLC, Cisco 5508 WLC, and Cisco WiSM2 software images are split into the following two images:

    Base Install image, which includes the Cisco WLC image and a subset of AP images (excluding some mesh AP images and AP80x images) that are packaged in the Supplementary AP Bundle image.
    Supplementary AP Bundle image, which includes AP images that are excluded from the Base Install image.

The APs that feature in the Supplementary AP Bundle image are:

– AP802

– Cisco Aironet 1550 Series AP (with 64-MB memory)

– Cisco Aironet 1550 Series AP (with 128-MB memory)

– Cisco Aironet 1570 Series APs


We don't have any of these APs in our network. So I just need to upgrade to the 8.3.102.0 version without separate upgrades of base software image and supplemental AP bundle image? So in short, I have to just install the base image, correct?

That is correct, you only need the base image.
