Installing and Replacing the 4GE SSM
Replacing the 4GE SSM
To replace an existing 4GE SSM, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Enter the hw-mod mod 1 shut command in privileged EXEC mode. Verify that the module is down by
making sure that the LEDs are all off.
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 at the left rear end of the chassis.
Step 4 Remove the 4GE SSM. Place it in a static bag and set it aside.
Step 5 Replace the existing card by inserting the new 4GE SSM through the slot opening.
Step 6 Attach the screws to secure the 4GE 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 4GE SSM.
Step 9 Check the LEDs. If the 4GE SSM is installed properly, the POWER LED is solid green and the STATUS
LED is flashing during boot up.
Step 10 Connect the RJ-45 cable to the port and the other end of the cable to your network devices. For more
information, see the “Connecting the Interface Cables” section.
