Cisco ASA 5506-X Installation Guide

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.
Note
The ASA 5506-X, 5506W-X, and ASA 5506H-X have been validated for the following security standards
certifications:
• Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 for ASA 9.12.x
• Common Criteria (CC) certification for the Network Device Collaborative Protection Profile, (NDcPPv2.1),
VPN Gateway Module (VPNGW_MOD_v1.0), and Firewall Module (FW_MOD_v1.3) for ASA 9.12.x
ASA 5506W-X Wireless Features
The ASA 5506W-X supports two high-performing spatial stream rates over a deployable distance with
high reliability when serving clients. The ASA 5506W-X contains two simultaneous dual-band radios
(2.4-GHz and 5-GHz 802.11n MIMO radios) in a controller-based mode or autonomous mode. It has
