Installing the ASA Services Module
Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
Step 7
following two sets of substeps:
Horizontal Slots
Position the ASA Services Module in the slot. (See
a.
the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.
b.
Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket on the top edge of the module makes
contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have engaged and closed to
approximately 45 degrees with respect to the ASA Services Module faceplate. (See
Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and press down to create
c.
a small (0.040 inch [1 mm]) gap between the module's EMI gasket and the module above it. (See
Figure
Do not press down too hard on the levers because they can bend and be damaged.
Caution
While gently pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the
d.
ASA Services Module in the chassis backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when
they are flush with the module faceplate. (See
Note
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the ASA Services Module.
e.
Note
Verify that the ASA Services Module STATUS LED is lit. Check the STATUS LED periodically. If
f.
the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot
process and is now online. If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not
successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
