Installing the ASA Services Module
To install the ASA Services Module in the chassis, follow these steps:
Verify that an ESD grounding strap is attached to your wrist and to proper ground.
Step 1
If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, see the
Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section on page 18
Verify that the two slots adjacent to the slot where you are installing the services module have either a
Step 2
module installed in them or a switching-module filler plate installed (Cisco part numbers
SLOTBLANK-09 or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) if either slot is unused. If either slot has a blank slot cover
(Cisco part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR), you need to remove the blank slot cover and replace it with
a switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.
Step 3 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis.
This step assures that the EMI gaskets on all of the installed modules are fully compressed in order to
maximize the opening space for the services module.
Note
If you are installing the ASA Services Module in an empty slot, remove the module filler plate that
Step 4
covers the selected chassis slot by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate. Save
the module filler plate and the two screws for future use.
Note
Step 5 Remove the new ASA Services Module from its shipping packaging and from the antistatic shipping bag.
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal carrier edges only. Place the unpackaged

services module on an antistatic surface.
Fully open both ejector levers on the ASA Services Module. (See
Step 6

If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on
the installed modules expand and push the modules toward the open slot, which reduces the
opening size and makes it difficult to reinstall the module.
If you must remove an existing module, see the
on page 17. The procedure is applicable to services modules and other types of modules.
