that are described in this chapter. You must select a deployment configuration
mode: Inline or SPAN Port.
All steps that are listed in this chapter apply to both configurations unless
otherwise noted.
Here is what you need:
• Deployment Configuration Guide
•Power supply

Ethernet Devices
Identify the Ethernet devices that you are going to connect to the device:
switch, servers, and workstations or personal computers. Verify that each
device has a network interface card (NIC) for connecting to Ethernet ports.
Partially configuration of the device using Cisco ASA commands through the
console port is required. An ASCII terminal or a personal computer that is
running terminal emulation software to connect to the console port is needed.
1. Make sure that you are using a personal computer that is configured with
a supported operating system. For a list of supported operating systems,
see the release notes at:
