Removing and Replacing the Chassis Cover

To replace an existing ASA SSM, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Enter the hw-mod mod 1 shut command in privileged EXEC mode. Verify if the module is down by

checking the LEDs.

Step 2 Locate the grounding strap from the accessory kit and fasten it to your wrist so that it contacts your bare

skin. Attach the other end to the chassis.

Step 3 Remove the two screws (as shown in FigureA-7) at the left rear end of the chassis, and remove the slot

cover.

Step 4 Remove the ASA SSM. Set it aside.

Step 5 Replace the existing card by inserting the new ASA SSM through the slot opening.

Step 6 Attach the screws to secure the ASA SSM to the chassis.

Step 7 Power on the adaptive security appliance.

Step 8 Enter the hw-mod mod 1 reset command in privileged EXEC mode to reset the ASA SSM.

Step 9 Check the LEDs. If the ASA SSM is installed properly, the POWER LED is solid green and the STATUS

LED flashes green.
