Cisco ASA 5506-X Mount And Connect

Mount and Connect
Do not remove the rubber feet included with the ASA because they are needed for proper cooling for all
mounting orientations.
Note
This chapter describes how to rack-mount the ASA, and how to connect the cords and cables. It contains the
following sections:
• Desktop Mount the ASA, on page 1
• Wall Mount the ASA, on page 2
• Rack Mount the ASA, on page 3
• Install the ASA 5506H-X in a DIN Rail, on page 4
• Connect Cables, Turn on Power, and Verify Connectivity, on page 6
• Connect to a Console Terminal or PC, on page 8
Desktop Mount the ASA
You can mount the ASA on a desktop by placing it on a desk in a horizontal position. Make sure there are no
blockages or obstructions within one inch of the top of the ASA or within .5 inch of the sides and back, so
that nothing interferes with cooling. Do not remove the rubber feet included with the ASA. They are also
needed for proper cooling.
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.
