Online Insertion and Removal Support
While the ASA back panel has two USB slots, only one is supported for Online Insertion and Removal (OIR), with priority given to the USB drive that was inserted first. For example, based on the time sequence, the first inserted USB flash drive is mounted to disk1, regardless of the slot in which you insert it. When you insert a second USB device, an error message displays on the console to notify you that an extra, unsupported USB flash drive exists. Removing either one of the USB devices does not change the priority that you just established. To change the priority you must safely remove the USB device and begin again to establish the desired priority.
