Figure 4 Rack-Mounting the Chassis
Rack Mount the ASA 5500-X Chassis with Slide Rail Mounting System
The slide rail mounting system provides a quick, convenient, and secure method for rack mounting the chassis.
While the 5545-X and 5555-X chassis ship with the slide rail mounting system and can be mounted using this
system only, you can use the slide rail mounting system for any of the other ASA 5500-X series chassis, as well.

Prepare an ASA 5512-X, ASA 5515-X, or ASA 5525-X to Use a Slide Rail Rack Mount
System
These instructions show how to prepare an ASA 5512-X, ASA 5515-X, or ASA 5525-X chassis for mounting with
the slide rail rack mount system. These chassis models ship with preinstalled fixed rack-mount brackets, which
must be replaced with the die-cast brackets that ship in the slide rail rack mount kit.
Procedure
1. From the slide rail rack mount kit, locate the two die-cast brackets, the six screws, and the four shoulder
screws that you need to prepare your chassis for installation in the side rail rack.
2. Remove the preinstalled fixed rack-mount bracket on either side of the chassis by removing the three bracket
screws that hold each bracket in place. (See
