Installation and Removal Instructions
This section describes how to install and remove AIP-SSC-5, and contains the following topics:
•Installing AIP-SSC-5
•Verifying the Status of AIP-SSC-5
•Removing AIP-SSC-5
Installing AIP-SSC-5
To install AIP-SSC-5 for the first time, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power off the Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance.
Note The Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance does not have a power switch. To power it off, disconnect the power connector of the power supply input cable from the electrical outlet.
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 at the left back end of the chassis, and remove the slot cover.
Note Store the slot cover in a safe place for future use. You must install slot covers on all empty slots. This prevents EMI, which can disrupt other equipment.
Step 4 Insert AIP-SSC-5 through the slot opening.
Step 5 Attach the screws to secure AIP-SSC-5 to the chassis.
Step 6 Power on the Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance by connecting the power connector of the power supply input cable to an electrical outlet.
Step 7 Check the indicators.
If AIP-SSC-5 is properly installed, the STATUS indicator flashes green. You can also verify that AIP-SSC-5 has come online using the show module 1 command.
Step 8 Initialize AIP-SSC-5.
Step 9 Install the most recent Cisco IPS software.
Step 10 Configure AIP-SSC-5 to receive IPS traffic.

Verifying the Status of AIP-SSC-5
You can use the show module 1 command to verify that AIP-SSC-5 is up and running.
The following values are valid for the Status field:
•Initializing
—AIP-SSC-5 is being detected and the control communication is being initialized by the system.
•Up
—AIP-SSC-5 has completed initialization by the system.
•Unresponsive
—The system encountered an error communicating with AIP-SSC-5.
•Reloading
—AIP-SSC-5 is reloading.
•Shutting Down
—AIP-SSC-5 is shutting down.
•Down
—AIP-SSC-5 is shut down.
•Recover
—AIP-SSC-5 is attempting to download a recovery image.
To verify the status of AIP-SSC-5, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance.
Step 2 Verify the status of AIP-SSC-5:
Mod Card Type Model Serial No.

If the status reads Up
, AIP-SSC-5 has been properly installed.
Removing AIP-SSC-5
To remove AIP-SSC-5 from the Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, follow these steps:
Step 1 Shut down AIP-SSC-5:
asa# hw-module module 1 shutdown
Shutdown module in slot 1? [confirm]
Step 2 Press Enter to confirm.
Step 3 Verify that AIP-SSC-5 is shut down by checking the indicators.
Step 4 Power off the Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance
Note The Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance does not have a power switch. To power it off, disconnect the power connector of the power supply input cable from the electrical outlet.
Step 5 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 6 Remove the two screws at the left back end of the chassis.
Step 7 Remove AIP-SSC-5 and set it aside.
Note If you are not replacing AIP-SSC-5 immediately, install the blank slot cover. Slot covers must cover all empty slots. This prevents EMI from disrupting other equipment.
Step 8 If you need to replace the existing AIP-SSC-5, insert the new AIP-SSC-5 through the slot opening.
Note Do not replace AIP-SSC-5 with a different model. The the Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance will not recognize it.
Step 9 Attach the screws to secure AIP-SSC-5 to the chassis.
Step 10 Power on the Cisco ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance by connecting the power connector of the power supply input cable to an electrical outlet.
Step 11 Reset AIP-SSC-5:
asa# hw-module module 1 reset
Reset module in slot 1? [confirm]
Step 12 Press Enter to confirm.
Step 13 Check the indicators to see if AIP-SSC-5 is properly installed.
If AIP-SSC-5 is properly installed, the STATUS indicator flashes green. Or you can verify installation using the show module 1command.
