validation, and voice and video over VPN support. It also provides enhanced support for intelligent information
networks through improved network integration, resiliency, and scalability.

This ASA is a smaller form-factor chassis, intended primarily for desktop or wall-mounting, although one or
two can be mounted in a single rack shelf. The ASA has a standard 1 RU chassis. See

Cisco ASA 5500-X

Series Next-Generation Firewalls

to compare the performance metrics and capabilities of the 5500-X ASAs.

Do not stack the ASA chassis on top of another ASA chassis. If you stack the units, they will overheat,
which causes the units to power cycle.
