Step 3
copy tftp://server[/path]/asdm_image_name 
{disk0:/ | disk1:/}[path/]asdm_image_name
Example:
hostname# copy 
tftp://10.1.1.1/asdm-701.bin 
disk0:/asdm-701.bin
Copies the ASDM image to the active unit flash memory.
Step 4
configure terminal
Example:
hostname(config)# configure terminal
If you are not already in global configuration mode, accesses 
global configuration mode.
Step 5
show running-config boot system
Example:
hostname(config)# show running-config boot 
system
boot system disk0:/cdisk.bin
boot system disk0:/asa841-smp-k9.bin
Shows the current boot images configured (up to 4). The ASA 
uses the images in the order listed; if the first image is 
unavailable, the next image is used, and so on. You cannot insert 
a new image URL at the top of the list; to specify the new image 
to be first, you must remove any existing entries, and enter the 
image URLs in the order desired, according to the following steps.
Step 6
no boot system {disk0:/ | 
disk1:/}[path/]asa_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# no boot system 
disk0:/cdisk.bin
hostname(config)# no boot system 
disk0:/asa841-smp-k9.bin
Removes any existing boot image configurations so you can enter 
the new boot image as your first choice.
Step 7
boot system {disk0:/ | 
disk1:/}[path/]asa_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# boot system 
disk0://asa901-smp-k9.bin
Sets the ASA image to boot that you just uploaded.
Repeat this command for any backup images you want to use in 
case this image is unavailable. For example, you can re-enter the 
images you previously removed in Step 6.
Step 8
asdm image {disk0:/ | 
disk1:/}[path/]asdm_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# asdm image 
disk0:/asdm-701.bin
Sets the ASDM image to use that you just uploaded. You can only 
configure one ASDM image to use, so you do not need to first 
remove the existing configuration.
Step 9
write memory
Example:
hostname(config)# write memory
Saves the new settings to the startup configuration.
Step 10
reload
Example:
hostname# reload
Reloads the ASA.
