Removing and Installing SSPs
The ASA 5585-X comes with a core Security Services Processor (SSP) already installed (SSP-10, SSP-20, SSP-40, or SSP-60). You can install an additional SSP (core SSP, IPS SSP, ASA CX SSP, or FirePOWER SSP) in slot 1.
For a matrix describing which module configurations are allowed, see the ASA Module Compatibility table.
Note
Feature limitations may apply to dual SSPs. Refer to your configuration guide for more information.
The add-on SSP will not run without the core SSP installed. The add-on SSP must be installed in the upper slot (slot 1), with the core SSP in the bottom slot (slot 0). You must power off the ASA 5585-X to remove and install SSPs; the SSPs are not hot-swappable.
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:
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:
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.
|
|
|
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).
Step 8 Grasp the ejection levers at the left and right bottom of the module slot and pull them out.
|
|
|
Step 9 Grasp the sides of the module and pull it all the way out of the chassis.
Step 10 Install the new module by lining it up with the slot. first ensuring the ejection levers are extended.
|
|
|
Step 11 Slide the module into the slot until it is seated and then push the ejection levers into place.
Step 12 Insert and tighten the captive screws.
Step 13 Reconnect the power cable to the ASA 5585-X.
Step 14 Power on the ASA 5585-X.
Step 15 Press Enter to confirm.
Step 16 Verify that the PWR indicator on the front panel is green.
Removing and Installing SSP Hard Disk Drives
The CX or FirePOWER SSP resides in slot 1 (the top slot) of the Cisco ASA 5585-X. The SSP includes two hard disk drives in a RAID 1 configuration. If one of the hard disk drives fails, you can remove and install a replacement.
Note Make sure that you replace the SSP hard disk drives with Cisco-approved hard disk drives.
Each hard disk drive is hot-swappable. The hard disk drive resides in a carrier, which you install into the SSP’s hard disk drive bay. You can use the hard disk drive with an AC or DC power supply. Each hard disk drive is shipped in a carrier, as shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 SSP Hard Disk Drive in Carrier
Make sure that you replace the failed hard disk drive as soon as possible; otherwise, if the remaining hard disk drive fails, all data is lost.
To remove and install a hard disk drive in the SSP, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the front panel of the SSP, remove the hard disk drive by pressing the button on the right side of the bay until the locking lever is released. Pull out the hard disk drive.
Step 2 On the front panel of the SSP, line up the hard disk drive carrier with the hard disk drive bay and push it in until it is seated. Push the locking lever into place.
Step 3 On the front panel of the SSP, ensure the HDD1 (left hard disk drive) and HDD0 (right hard disk drive) indicators are flashing green to indicate that the drives are active.
Installing and Removing Cisco ASA 5585-X Network I/O Modules
The ASA 5585-X comes with a core Security Services Processor (SSP-10, SSP-20, SSP-40, or SSP-60) already installed in slot 0. You can install one or two of the following optional network I/O modules in slot 1, which you divide into two slots using the accompanying slot divider:
- Cisco ASA 5585-X 4-port 10-G Network I/O Module
- Cisco ASA 5585-X 8-port 10-G Network I/O Module
- Cisco ASA 5585-X 20-port 1-G Network I/O Module
The network I/O module is not hot-swappable, so you must power off the ASA 5585-X before installing or removing the module. You must have a Phillips head screwdriver to install the slot divider that divides slot 1 into two bays.
The ports are numbered right to left, with port 0 being the far right port and the far left port is either port 3, 7, or 19 depending on whether you have a 4-, 8-, or 20-port module. The 20-port numbers go from top to bottom, and right to left. For slot 1 (top right slot), the interface is named TenGigabitEthernet 1/0 through TenGigabitEthernet 1/3. For slot 2 (top left slot) the interface is named TenGigabitEthernet 2/0 through TenGigabitEthernet 2/7.
Figure 4-2 shows the port numbering for the 4-port network I/O module.

Be sure the ASA software version installed on your ASA 5585-X supports the network I/O modules and the accompanying SFP/SFP+ transceivers. Refer to
Cisco ASA Compatibility for more information.
Table 4-1 lists the SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules supported by the ASA 5585-X.
|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|
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.
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.
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.
You must install slot covers on all empty slots to maintain the proper air flow. This also prevents EMI, which can disrupt other equipment.
Figure 4-5 Removing the Empty Slot Tray

Step 6 Slide the network module into the slot until it is seated and push the ejection levers back into place.
Step 7 With your fingers, tighten the captive thumb screws.
Step 8 If you are installing only one network I/O module, install a slot cover on the empty slot bay to protect it.
You must install slot covers on all empty slots to maintain the proper air flow. This also prevents EMI, which can disrupt other equipment.
Step 9 Install a SFP/SFP+ transceiver by aligning it with the I/O module port and sliding it into the port slot until it locks into position (Figure 4-9).
Do not remove the optical port plugs from the SFP/SFP+ until you are ready to connect the cabling.
Figure 4-9 Installing the SFP/SFP+ Transceiver
Step 10 Remove the optical port plug, and then connect one end of an LC cable to the SFP/SFP+ transceiver module (Figure 4-10).
Figure 4-10 Connecting the LC Cable
Step 11 Connect the other end of the LC cable to a network device, such as a router or a switch.
Step 12 After connecting all necessary cables, power on the security appliance.
Step 13 Verify that the PWR indicator on the front panel is green.

AC Power Supply Module
The ASA 5585-X ships with one AC power supply module and one fan module installed, except for the ASA 5585-X with SSP-60, which ships with two AC power supply modules installed in a load balancing/sharing configuration. The load balancing/sharing configuration ensures that if one power supply module fails, the other power supply module assumes the full load until the failed power supply module is replaced. To maintain airflow, both bays must be populated by either an AC power supply module and a fan module, or two AC power supply modules.
You can replace the fan module with a second AC power supply module in any of these models to create a redundant power-supply configuration. If you already have two AC power supply modules installed, you can install or replace either power supply module without powering off the appliance, as long as one power supply module is active and functioning correctly.
If only one power supply module is installed, do not remove the power supply module unless the appliance has been powered off. Removing the only operational power supply module causes an immediate power loss.
Note Only the ASA 5585-X with SSP-60 supports either two AC or two DC power supply modules. Do not mix AC and DC power supply modules in the same chassis.
Figure 4-11 shows the AC power-supply module indicator lights.

1.The power supply module has three output voltages—3.3V, 12V, and 50V. |
Removing and Installing an AC Power Supply Module
If you remove a power supply or fan module, replace it immediately to prevent disruption of service.
If the appliance is subjected to environmental overheating, it shuts down and you must manually power cycle it to turn it on again.
To
remove and install a
power
supply module, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you are removing the only power supply module, power off the security appliance.
Step 2 From the back panel of the security appliance, unplug the power supply module cable.
Step 3 On the back of the security appliance, loosen the captive screws from the power supply module (Figure 4-12).

Step 4 Remove the power supply module by grasping the handle and pulling the power supply module away from the chassis.
Step 5 Install the new power supply module by aligning it with the power supply module bay and pushing it into place until it is seated (Figure 4-13).
Figure 4-13 Installing the AC Power Supply Module
|
|
|
Step 6 Tighten the captive screws.
Step 7 Reconnect the power cable. If you are installing two power supply modules for a redundant configuration (Figure 4-14), plug each one into a power source—we recommend a UPS.
|
|
Step 8 If you had to power off the security appliance because you are removing and replacing the only power supply module, power it back on.
Step 9 Check the PS0 and PS1 indicators on the front panel to make sure they are green. On the back panel of the security appliance, make sure the IN OK and the FAN OK indicators are green and the OUT FAIL indicator is off (see Figure 4-11and Table 4-3 ).
DC Power Supply Module
The ASA 5585-X ships with two DC power-supply modules installed in a load balancing/sharing configuration. This is the only supported DC power-supply module configuration. The load balancing/sharing configuration ensures that if one DC power supply module fails, the other DC power supply module assumes the full load until the failed power-supply module is replaced. To maintain air flow, both bays must be populated by two DC power-supply modules.
You can install or replace either power-supply module without powering off the appliance, as long as one power-supply module is active and functioning correctly.
Note Only the ASA 5585-X SSP-60 supports either two AC or two DC power-supply modules. Do not mix AC and DC power-supply modules in the same chassis.
Figure 4-15 shows the DC power-supply module indicator lights and power-switch labels.

2.The power-supply module has three output voltages—3.35 V, 12.5 V, and 50 V. |
Installing the DC Power Supply Module
The DC power-supply module has a 1150-W output with three DC voltage outputs of 50 V, 12.25 V, and 3.35 V. The module operates between -40.5 to -72 VDC. The power-supply module shares current on the 50V and 12.25 V outputs, and can only be used in a dual (redundant) hot-pluggable configuration. The DC power-supply module operates from a single 40 A DC input circuit with at full output load of 1150 W, -40.5 VDC input, and does not exceed 33 A.
To install a DC power-supply module in the ASA 5585-X, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove existing modules from the appliance:
a. If you are replacing AC power with DC power, remove both modules from the appliance (fan module and power supply module, or both power supply modules) as shown in Step 1 through Step 4 in Removing and Installing an AC Power Supply Module. Continue with Step 2.
b. If you are replacing a failed DC power-supply module with a new DC power-supply module, follow the steps in Removing the DC Power Supply Module, and then continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Install the new power-supply module by aligning it with the power-supply module bay and pushing it into place until it is seated (Figure 4-16).

Package Contents
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
To install the chassis in the rack using the slide rail kit, follow these steps:
Step 1 Press the latch on the end of the slide rail and push forward to engage the pins in the rack until the clip clicks and locks around the rack post (Figure 4-26).
Note The slide rails are labeled ‘left’ and ‘right.’ Install the left slide rail on the left side of the rack and the right slide rail on the right side of the rack.
Figure 4-26 Press and Push to Install the Slide Rail
For square hole posts, square studs must be attached fully inside the square hole on the rack rail. For threaded hole posts, the round stud must fully enter inside the threaded hole rack rail (Figure 4-27).
Note After installing the square or round studs into the rack post, verify that the locking clip is fully seated and secure against the rack rail.
Figure 4-27 Square Studs for Square Hole Post
Step 2 Secure the slide rail to the rack post with the provided #10-32 screws by tightening the screws at the front and rear end of the slide rail to the rack post (Figure 4-28). Both front and rear rack posts must be secured with the screws before you install the chassis.
It is critical that the screws are installed and secured to the front and rear end of the slide rails.
Note The rack opening (the distance from the front to back rack uprights) should be between 26.5 and 38 inches.
Figure 4-28 Securing the Slide Rail to the Rack Post
Step 3 For square hole racks, install one #10-32 cage nut on each side of the rack rail (Figure 4-29). Leave one square hole spacing above the slide rail. The cage nut will be used later to secure the chassis to the rack post. For threaded hole racks, no additional hardware is needed.
Figure 4-29 Installing the #10-32 Cage Nuts
Step 4 Install the chassis on the outer rail. Make sure that the U-bars are aligned to the outer rail evenly, then push the chassis into the rack (Figure 4-30).

Mounting the Chassis Using a Fixed Rack Mount
If you are not able to use the slide rail kit in your rack installation, an optional fixed rack-mount solution is available. You can install fixed front and rear rack-mount brackets on the ASA 5585-X so that you can easily mount it in a rack.
To fixed-mount the ASA 5585-X, follow these steps:
Step 1 If the adaptive security appliance is already operational and not rack-mounted, or if you are replacing an adaptive security appliance with the ASA 5585-X, do the following:
- Power off the adaptive security appliance.
- Remove the power cable from the adaptive security appliance.
- Remove the old adaptive security appliance from the rack.
Step 2 Position the front bracket on the side of the adaptive security appliance and line up the bracket screws with the screw holes on the adaptive security appliance.

Step 3 Tighten the screws into the chassis.
Step 4 Repeat this procedure on the other side of the chassis.
Step 5 You can now mount the chassis in a rack; go to Step 12. If using the optional rear rack rails, continue with Step 6.
Step 6 Attach one of the rear brackets using three M4 screws.
Step 7 Repeat to attach the second bracket to the other side of the chassis.
Step 8 Measure the distance between the front and rear rack rails and select the proper slide-mount brackets.
Note The slide-mount brackets let you install the rear of the chassis to the rear rack rails. The brackets are designed to slide within the installed rear brackets and accommodate a range of rack depths.
Step 9 Install the proper slide-mount brackets on to the rear bracket on the chassis.
Step 10 For added security, screw in the front slide rail brackets to the rack.
Step 11 Secure the slide brackets to the corresponding holes in the rear rack rail using the screws provided.
Step 12 Re-attach the power cable to the adaptive security appliance.
Step 13 Power on the adaptive security appliance.
Installing the Cable Management Brackets
The ASA 5585-X ships with two cable management brackets that you can use to organize the cables connected to the adaptive security appliance.
To install the cable management brackets on the ASA 5585-X, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power off the adaptive security appliance.
Step 2 Remove the power cable from the adaptive security appliance.
Step 3 Position the cable management brackets on the front side of the adaptive security appliance, and line up the bracket screws with the screw holes on the adaptive security appliance. Figure 4-35 shows the cable management bracket for the fixed rack mount, and Figure 4-36 shows the cable management bracket for the slide rail.

Step 4 Tighten the screws into the rack.
Step 5 Re-attach the power cable to the adaptive security appliance.
Step 6 Organize the cables through the cable management brackets on the adaptive security appliance.
Step 7 Power on the adaptive security appliance.
Troubleshooting Loose Connections
Perform the following actions to troubleshoot loose connections on adaptive security appliances:
- Make sure all power cords are securely connected.
- Make sure all cables are properly aligned and securely connected for all external and internal components.
- Remove and check all data and power cables for damage. Make sure no cables have bent pins or damaged connectors.
- Make sure each connector is properly seated.
- If a device has latches, make sure they are completely closed and locked.
- Check any interlock or interconnect indicators that indicate a component is not connected properly.
- If problems continue, remove and re-install each connector, checking the connectors and sockets for bent pins or other damage.
