Required Tools
SHUTDOWN Switch
The ASA Services Module has a recessed switch, labeled SHUTDOWN, mounted on the module front
panel. If a fault is detected on the ASA Services Module, the operator must press the SHUTDOWN
switch to interrupt the Services module processors and initiate an orderly shutdown of the storage
devices on the module before the module is removed from the chassis.
Required Tools
These tools are required to install the ASA Services Module in the chassis:
•
Small flat-blade screwdriver
•
No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
•
Antistatic mat or foam pad to support the module
•
Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with the
module
•
Switching-module filler plates (Cisco part number SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E).
Replaces blank slot covers in slots that are directly adjacent to the Services Module slot (either
above and below on horizontal slot chassis or left and right on vertical slot chassis).
Chassis Unused Slots Restrictions
If you are installing one or more of the Cisco Services Modules in your chassis that are listed in
the slots directly adjacent to the services module (above and below or to the left and to the right) must
contain either line cards or switching-module filler plates (Cisco part numbers WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E
or SLOTBLANK-09). If either adjacent slot is unused and currently has a blank slot cover (Cisco part
number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) installed, you must remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a
switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.
