Internal and External USB Flash Drives

The Cisco ASA 5500-X has internal and (optional) external USB drives.

• Internal USB Drive, page 1-3

• External USB Drives (Optional), page 1-3

• USB Online Insertion and Removal, page 1-3

• FAT-32 File System, page 1-3

Internal USB Drive

An embedded USB (eUSB) device is used as the internal flash (disk0). See Hardware Specifications,

page 1-16 for the size shipped with each model.

External USB Drives (Optional)

The ASA 5500-X supports external USB flash drives for data storage. The ASA 5500-X uses disk1 as

the external USB flash drive identifier. When the ASA is powered on, an inserted USB flash drive is

mounted to disk1 and available for you to use. Additionally, the file system commands that are available

to disk 0 are also available to disk1, including copy, format, delete, mkdir, pwd, cd, and so on. When

you remove the USB flash drive, the system unmounts disk1, and disk1 becomes an invalid file system

label that you can no longer access.

If you insert a USB drive with more than one partition, only the first partition is mounted.

USB Online Insertion and Removal

While the ASA back panel has two USB slots, only one is supported for online insertion and removal

(OIR), with priority given to the USB drive that was inserted first. For example, based on the time

sequence, the first inserted USB flash drive is mounted to disk1, regardless of the slot in which you insert

it. When you insert a second USB device, an error message appears on the console to notify you that an

extra, unsupported USB flash drive exists. Removing either one of the USB devices does not change the

priority that you just established. To change the priority you must safely remove the USB device and

begin again to establish the desired priority.

FAT-32 File System

The ASA 5500-X supports only FAT-32-formatted file systems for the eUSB and external USB drives.

If you insert an external USB drive that is not in FAT-32 format, the system mounting process fails, and

you receive an error message. You can enter the format disk1: command to format the partition to FAT

32 and mount the partition to disk1 again; however, data might be lost.

OL-32129-01

Chapter 1 About the ASA 5500-X

Solid State Drives

You must install a Cisco Solid State Drive (SSD) for use with the some software modules. Only Cisco

SSDs are supported. You can install one SSD in the ASA 5512-X, ASA 5515-X, and ASA 5525-X. You

can install two SSDs in a RAID 1 configuration in the ASA 5545-X and ASA 5555-X.

Note When you install an SSD for the first time, you must reload the ASA and then re-image the installed

module.

The SSD is hot-swappable. The SSD resides in a carrier, which you install into the drive bay. You can

use the SSD with an AC or DC power supply. See Install and Remove a Solid State Drive for a Services

Module, page 4-22 for more information.

Alarm LED

The ASA 5500-X performs autonomous environmental monitoring, polling all external sensors and

monitoring operating conditions. In the event of damage to certain internal components, or surpassed

temperature thresholds, the system activates an alarm LED to notify you of a critical condition. For

example, the alarm LED is activated by firmware in the event of various critical over-voltage and

over-temperature conditions, as well as when the ASA has missing or unrecognized internal chip

components. When the alarm LED lights, you can find details about the system condition from the

system message that appears on the console, or by entering the show environment or show controller

pci CLI commands.

Note If you remove one of the power-supply modules from an ASA with redundant power supplies—in other

words, one with two power supplies installed—the Alarm LED will light. To turn off the light, you must

power-cycle the chassis; that is, turn it completely off and then turn it back on. See Power Supply,

page 1-14 for more information about the redundant power-supply configuration. See Remove and

Install the Power Supply, page 4-14 for more information about removing a power supply.

ASA 5500-X I/O Cards

The ASA 5500-X six-port GigabitEthernet interface cards extend the I/O capabilities of the

ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X models by providing additional GigabitEthernet ports.

The I/O cards provide the following benefits:

• Segmentation of network traffic into separate security zones

• Fiber-optic cable connectivity for communications over long distances

• Load-sharing of traffic, and protection against link failure, using EtherChannel

• Support for Jumbo Ethernet frames of up to 9000 bytes

• Protection for Active/Active failover, and for full-mesh firewall deployments against cable failure

For information about installing an I/O card in your ASA, see Chapter 4, “Maintenance and Upgrade

Procedures for the ASA 5500-X.”

Chapter 1 About the ASA 5500-X

SFP Modules

The ASA uses field-replaceable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules to establish Gigabit

Ethernet connections. Table 1-1 lists the supported SFP modules.

Use only Cisco-certified SFP modules on the ASA. Each SFP module has an internal serial EEPROM

that is encoded with security information. This encoding allows Cisco to identify and validate that the

SFP module meets the requirements for the ASA.

All SFP ports require cables with LC-type connectors. Minimum cable distance for all SFPs listed (both

SMF and MMF) is 2 m (6.5 feet); cables must not exceed specified cable lengths for reliable

communications. Table 1-2 lists the fiber-optic cable requirements.
