Product Overview  
The Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance delivers unprecedented levels of defense against  
threats to the network with deeper web inspection and flow-specific analysis, improved secure  
connectivity via end-point security posture validation, and voice and video over VPN support. It also  
provides enhanced support for intelligent information networks through improved network integration,  
resiliency, and scalability.  
The adaptive security appliance software combines firewall, VPN concentrator, and intrusion prevention  
software functionality into one software image. Previously, these functions were available in three  
separate devices, each with its own software and hardware. Combining the functionality into just one  
software image provides significant improvements in the available features.  
Additionally, the adaptive security appliance software supports Adaptive Security Device Manager  
(ASDM). ASDM is a browser-based, Java applet used to configure and monitor the software on the  
adaptive security appliances. ASDM is loaded from the adaptive adaptive security appliance, then used  
to configure, monitor, and manage the device.

Maintaining Safety with Electricity  
Warning  
Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units;  
disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units. Statement 12  
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:  
Before beginning procedures that require access to the interior of the chassis, locate the emergency  
power-off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you  
can act quickly to turn off the power.  
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your work space.  
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.  
Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power  
extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.  
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:  
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.  
Disconnect power from the system.  
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim  
and then call for help.  
Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take  
appropriate action.  
Use the adaptive security appliance chassis within its marked electrical ratings and product usage  
instructions.  
Install the adaptive security appliance in compliance with local and national electrical codes as listed  
in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series document.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation  
General Site Requirements  
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs  
when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.  
Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components. Ensure that  
the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring  
that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis  
frame to safely ground ESD voltages. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist  
strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching  
the metal part of the chassis.  
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between  
1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).  
General Site Requirements  
The topics in this section describe the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and  
operation of your system. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.  
This section includes the following topics:  
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. Equipment placed  
too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause system malfunctions and  
shutdowns, and can make the chassis maintenance difficult.  
For information on physical specifications, see table 7 at the following url:  
When planning the site layout and equipment locations, keep in mind the precautions described in the  
next section “Preventive Site Configuration, page 2-3,” to help avoid equipment failures and reduce the  
possibility of environmentally caused shutdowns. If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or  
unusually high error rates with your existing equipment, these precautions may help you isolate the  
cause of failures and prevent future problems.  
Preventive Site Configuration  
The following precautions will help plan an acceptable operating environment for the chassis and avoid  
environmentally caused equipment failures:  
Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Hardware Installation Guide  
OL-18362-01  
2-3

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation  
General Site Requirements  
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool  
equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room  
in which you operate your system has adequate air circulation.  
Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described previously to avoid damage to equipment.  
Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.  
Ensure that the chassis top panel is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow  
effectively within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of  
cooling air from the internal components.  
Power Supply Considerations  
For information on power supply considerations including environmental operating ranges and power  
requirements, see table 7 at the following url:  
Observe the following considerations:  
Check the power at the site before installing the chassis to ensure that the power is “clean” (free of  
spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary, to ensure proper voltages and power  
levels in the source voltage.  
Install proper grounding for the site to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.  
In a chassis equipped with an AC-input power supply, use the following guidelines:  
The chassis does not have a user-selectable operating range. Refer to the label on the chassis for  
the correct AC-input power requirement.  
Several styles of AC-input power supply cords are available; make sure you have the correct  
style for your site.  
Install an uninterruptible power source for your site, if possible.  
Install proper site grounding facilities to guard against damage from lightning or power surges.

This chapter describes how to install the chassis on the wall or rack, remove and replace the chassis  
cover, the power supply, and the CompactFlash. This chapter includes the following sections:  
Removing and Replacing the Chassis Cover  
This section describes how to remove and replace the chassis cover. This section includes the following  
topics:  
Working in an ESD Environment  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs  
when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.  
Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when you remove and replace components. Ensure that the  
chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it  
makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to  
safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and  
cord must operate properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of  
the chassis.s

Cable Pinouts  
This appendix describes pinout information for 10/100/1000BaseT ports, console and the RJ-45 to DB-9  
ports, and the Management 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, and includes the following sections:  
10/100/1000BaseT Connectors  
The adaptive security appliance supports 10/100/1000BaseT ports. You must use at least a Category 5  
cable for 100/1000baseT operations, but a Category 3 cable can be used for 10BaseT operations.  
The 10/100/1000BaseT ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and supports MDI and MDI-X connectors.  
Ethernet ports normally use MDI connectors and Ethernet ports on a hub normally use an MDI-X connector.  
Use an Ethernet straight-through cable to connect an MDI to an MDI-X port. Use a cross-over cable to  
connect an MDI to an MDI port, or an MDI-X to an MDI-X port.  
Figure 1-1 shows the 10BaseT and the 100BaseTX connector (RJ-45).

Appendix 1 Cable Pinouts  
Console Port (RJ-45)  
To identify the RJ-45 cable type, hold the two ends of the cable next to each other so that you can see  
the colored wires inside the ends, as shown in Figure 1-4.  
Figure 1-4  
RJ-45 Cable Identification  
Examine the sequence of colored wires to determine the type of RJ-45 cable, as follows:  
Straight-through—The colored wires are in the same sequence at both ends of the cable.  
Crossover—The first (far left) colored wire at one end of the cable is the third colored wire at the  
other end of the cable.  
Table 1-1 lists the rolled (console) cable pinouts for RJ-45.
