Upgrading to 10.2? See Upgrading an existing ArcGIS Web Adaptor to 10.2.

Before installing the Web Adaptor

Steps:

1. Verify that your system meets all system requirements.
2. Verify that you have a website running on port 80, and SSL is enabled on port 443. This is to accommodate the variety of encrypted and unencrypted calls made to Portal for ArcGIS. The Web Adaptor cannot be configured with your portal if it is deployed on a website running on ports other than 80 and 443. For instructions on how to create a website, please consult the product documentation specific for your Java application server. For more information about setting up and using SSL, see Enabling SSL on your web server.
3. Browse to the folder containing the Web Adaptor setup. You can also insert the Portal for ArcGIS media into the appropriate drive and launch the setup.

You are now ready to proceed with the Web Adaptor installation.
