Rack Mounting the ASA 5512-X, 5515-X, and 5525-X With Brackets
The ASA 5512-X, 5515-X, and 5525-X appliances ship with rack mount brackets installed on the front
of the chassis. If you want to mount the chassis to the back of the rack, you can move the brackets from
the front to the back of the chassis.
Detailed Steps
Step 1 (Optional) Move the brackets to the back of the chassis to install it in the back of the rack.
a. Remove the rack-mount brackets from the chassis as shown in Figure 3-1.
