Replacing an SSM
Note The following is only supported on the ASA 5510, ASA 5520, and ASA 5540.
To replace an existing SSM, perform the following steps:

checking the LEDs.
Step 2 Locate the grounding strap from the accessory kit and fasten it to your wrist so that it contacts your bare
skin. Attach the other end to the chassis.
Step 3 Remove the two screws (as shown in Figure A-7) at the left rear end of the chassis, and remove the slot
cover.
Step 4 Remove the SSM. Set it aside.
Step 5 Replace the existing card by inserting the new SSM through the slot opening.
