Shutting Down the Module
Shutting down the module software prepares the module to be safely powered off without losing
configuration data. Note: If you reload the ASA, the module is not automatically shut down, so we
recommend shutting down the module before reloading the ASA. To gracefully shut down the module,
perform the following steps at the ASA CLI.
