Removing and Installing SSPs
To install and remove an add-on SSP in the ASA 5585-X, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you are replacing an existing SSP, shut it down first by entering the following CLI command;
otherwise continue with Step 3:
asa# hw-module module 1 shutdown
Shutdown module in slot 1? [confirm]
Note The core SSP resides in slot 0 (the bottom slot) while any additional SSP resides in slot 1 (the
top slot).
Step 2 Press Enter to confirm.
Step 3 Save the running config before powering off the ASA 5585-X or the configuration will be lost. Enter the
following CLI command:
asa# write memory
If you are using a management application such as ASDM or CSM to manage this ASA 5585-X, you
also can use that application to save the configuration.
Step 4 Power off the ASA 5585-X.
Step 5 Remove the power cable from the ASA 5585-X.
Step 6 If you are installing an add-on SSP for the fist time, loosen the captive screws on the upper left and right
of the slot tray (slot 1), and remove it. Store it in a safe place for future use. If you are replacing an
existing SSP, continue with Step 10.
Caution You must install slot trays in all empty slots to maintain the proper air flow. This also prevents EMI,
which can disrupt other equipment.
Step 7 On the front panel of the ASA 5585-X, loosen the captive screws from either the top slot (for the add-on
SSP), or bottom slot (for the core SSP).
