Installing the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP
Step 3
From the front panel of the ASA 5585-X, 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.
Note
You must install slot trays in all empty slots to maintain the proper air flow. This prevents EMI,
which can disrupt other equipment.
Step 4
Install the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP by lining it up with the module slot making sure the ejection levers are
extended.
Step 5
Slide the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP in to the slot until it is seated and push the ejection levers back in to
place.
Step 6
Tighten the screws.
Step 7
Reconnect the power cable to the ASA 5585-X.
Step 8
Power on the ASA 5585-X.
Step 9
Verify that the PWR indicator on the front panel is green. You can also verify that the
ASA 5585-X IPS SSP is online using the
show module 1
command.
Step 10
Initialize the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP.
Step 11
Configure the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP to receive IPS traffic.
