Chapter 6 Installing and Removing the ASA 5500 AIP SSM
Installation and Removal Instructions
Step 3 Remove the two screws at the left back end of the chassis, and remove the slot cover.
Note Store the slot cover in a safe place for future use. You must install slot covers on all empty slots.
This prevents EMI, which can disrupt other equipment.
Step 4 Insert the ASA 5500 AIP SSM through the slot opening.
Step 5 Attach the screws to secure the ASA 5500 AIP SSM to the chassis.
Step 6 Power on the adaptive security appliance by pushing the power switch at the back of the chassis.
Step 7 Check the indicators. If the ASA 5500 AIP SSM is properly installed, the POWER indicator is solid
green and the STATUS indicator is flashing green. You can also verify that the ASA 5500 AIP SSM is
online using the show module 1 command.
Step 8 Initialize the ASA 5500 AIP SSM.
Step 9 Install the most recent Cisco IPS software.
Step 10 Configure the ASA 5500 AIP SSM to receive IPS traffic.
