Installing and Removing Cisco ASA 5585-X Network I/O Modules
Note These SFP+ modules require ASA 8.2.5 or later: SFP-10G-LRM, SFP-10G-LR, SFP-H10GB-CU1M,
SFP-H10GB-CU3M, and SFP-H10GB-CU5M.
Note Only SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules certified by Cisco are supported on the ASA 5585-X.
Caution Protect your SFP/SFP+ transceivers by inserting clean dust plugs into the SFP/SFP+ modules after
extracting cables from them. Be sure to clean the surfaces of the fiber-optic cables before you plug
them back into the optical bores of another SFP/SFP+ module. Avoid getting dust and other
contaminants into the optical bores of your SFP/SFP+ modules. The cables do not operate correctly
when obstructed with dust.
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Statement 70
To install a 4-, 8-, or 20-port network I/O module and related SFP/SFP+ transceivers into the
ASA 5585-X:
Step 1 Power off the security appliance.
Caution Network I/O modules are not hot-swappable.
Step 2 Locate a grounding strap, and fasten it to your wrist so that it contacts bare skin. Attach the other end to
the chassis.
Step 3 Loosen the captive screws on the upper left and right of the top slot tray (slot 1), and remove it
(Figure 4-5). Store it in a safe place for future use.
Caution You must install slot covers on all empty slots to maintain the proper air flow. This also prevents EMI,
which can disrupt other equipment.
