Installing and Replacing the Intelligent SSM

Installing and Replacing the Intelligent SSM
The Cisco ASA 5510, Cisco ASA 5520, Cisco ASA 5540 support the AIP SSM and the CSC SSM, also
referred to as the intelligent SSM in this document.The AIP SSM runs advanced IPS software that
provides security inspection. There are three types of AIP SSM: the AIP SSM 10, AIP SSM 20 and the
AIP SSM 40. The AIP SSM 10 and the AIP SSM 20 look identical, but the AIP SSM 20 has a faster
processor and more memory than the AIP SSM 10. The AIP SSM 40 has a faster processor and more
memory than both the AIP SSM 10 and the AIP SSM 20. Only one module (the AIP SSM 10,
AIP SSM 20, or the AIP SSM 40) can populate the slot at a time.

The CSC SSM runs Content Security and Control software. The CSC SSM provides protection against
viruses, spyware, spam, and other unwanted traffic. There are two types of CSC SSM: the CSC SSM 10,
and the CSC SSM 20. For more information on the CSC SSM 10/20, see the "Managing the CSC SSM"
