Reset button
A small recessed button that if pressed for longer
than three seconds resets the ASA to its default

Configuration variables are reset to factory
default. However, the flash is not erased and no
files are removed.
You can use the service
sw-reset-button command to disable
the reset button. The default is enabled.

Facing the rear of the ASA 5506-X and ASA 5506W-X chassis, the LEDs are located on the top left edge
(facing the front of the chassis, they are in the back right corner of the top). Facing the rear of the ASA
5506H-X, the LEDs are located on the bottom left of the chassis. The network port LEDs are at the top sides
of each network port. See Rear Panel, on page 4 for more information.
The following figure shows the LEDs on the top left edge.
