Removing and Installing SSPs
To install and remove an add-on SSP in the ASA 5585-X, follow these steps:
Step 1
If you are replacing an existing SSP, shut it down first by entering the following CLI command;
otherwise continue with
Step 3
:
asa#
hw-module module 1 shutdown
Shutdown module in slot 1? [confirm]
Note
The core SSP resides in slot 0 (the bottom slot) while any additional SSP resides in slot 1 (the
top slot).
Step 2
Press
Enter
to confirm.
Step 3
Save the running config before powering off the ASA 5585-X or the configuration will be lost. Enter the
following CLI command:
asa#
write memory
If you are using a management application such as ASDM or CSM to manage this ASA 5585-X, you
also can use that application to save the configuration.
Step 4
Power off the ASA 5585-X.
Step 5
Remove the power cable from the ASA 5585-X.
Step 6
If you are installing an add-on SSP for the fist time, loosen the captive screws on the upper left and right
of the slot tray (slot 1), and remove it. Store it in a safe place for future use. If you are replacing an
existing SSP, continue with
Step 10
.
Caution
You must install slot trays in all empty slots to maintain the proper air flow. This also prevents EMI,
which can disrupt other equipment.
Step 7
On the front panel of the ASA 5585-X, loosen the captive screws from either the top slot (for the add-on
SSP), or bottom slot (for the core SSP).
