Here are more details instructions from the Phantasy Star Universe website:
Update: It is strongly advised that you wait until maintenance is over to download the new version of Ambition of the Illuminus. Edward, a Sega GM, posted the following on the Sega forums:
"Some of you may already be able to download the new version of AOTI from the Xbox Live Marketplace. You are free to do so, however please note that until the update process is complete and servers are live, we can't guarantee that the version of AOTI you are downloading is the newest version, which will be compatible with online mode and GUARDIANS Advanced Content. It takes time for all regions to be populated with the current download so please be advised that even if the Marketplace description of AOTI is updated, the download itself may not yet be."
Update: The servers are now online!
Edward, a Sega GM, announced today there will be two maintenance periods for the Xbox 360 Phantasy Star Universe servers over the next week.
