Removing the Chassis Cover

To remove the chassis cover, perform the following steps:

Note Removing the chassis cover does not affect Cisco warranty. Upgrading the adaptive security appliance does not require any special tools and does not create any radio frequency leaks.

Step 1 Read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series document. Step 2 Power off the adaptive security appliance.

Warning Before working on a system that has an On/Off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.

Step 3 Turn the chassis upside down so that the top of the chassis is resting on a flat surface, and the front of the chassis is facing toward you.
