Replacing an ASA SSM 10/20
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 Figure A-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.
