Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Chassis Overview

This guide supports the Cisco ASA 5500-X series models, which includes the ASA 5512-X,

ASA 5515-X, ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X.

The Cisco ASA 5500-X series is a family of next-generation mid-range ASAs that are built on the same security platform as the rest of the ASA family. These next-generation ASAs provide more firewall throughput (4X firewall throughput), better scaling, more Ethernet ports (up to 14 GE ports), optional ASA CX SSP or ASA IPS SSP software modules, and redundant power supplies on the 5545-X and 5555-X models.

Internal USB Drive

An embedded USB (eUSB) device is used as the internal flash (disk0). See the “Hardware

Specifications” section on page 1-15for the size shipped with each model.

(Optional) External USB Drives

The ASA 5500-X series supports external USB flash drives for data storage. The ASA 5500-X series use disk1 as the external USB flash drive identifier. When the ASA is powered on, an inserted USB flash drive is mounted to disk1 and available for you to use. Additionally, the file system commands that are available to disk0 are also available to disk1, including copy, format, delete, mkdir, pwd, cd, and so on. When you remove the USB flash drive, the system unmounts disk1, and disk1 becomes an invalid file system label that you can no longer access.

If you insert a USB drive with more than one partition, only the first partition is mounted.
