CH A P T E R 2 Preparing for Installation The information in this guide applies to the following Cisco ASA 5500-X series models: ASA 5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X, 5545-X, and 5555-X. In this guide, references to “Cisco ASA 5500-X series ” and “ASA” apply to all models unless specifically noted otherwise.
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation Safety Recommendations Note If you need to remove the chassis cover to install a hardware component, such as additional memory or an interface card, doing so does not affect your Cisco warranty. Upgrading the ASA does not require any special tools and does not create any radio frequency leaks. Observe the following safety guidelines: • Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free before, during, and after installation.
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation General Site Requirements • The ASA models equipped with AC-input power supplies are shipped with a 3-wire electrical cord with a grounding-type plug that fits only a grounding-type power outlet. Do not circumvent this safety feature. Equipment grounding should comply with local and national electrical codes.
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation General Site Requirements Site Environment Place the chassis on a desktop or mount it on a rack. The location of the chassis and the layout of the equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important for proper system operation. Placing equipment too close together with inadequate ventilation and inaccessible panels can cause system malfunctions and shutdowns. Improper placement can also make it difficult for you to access the chassis for maintenance.
