3. Power On the ASA

1. Attach the power cable to the ASA and connect it to an electrical outlet.
The power turns on automatically when you plug in the power cable; do not press the power button on the front panel. (For
older models, the power does not turn on automatically; check the hardware installation guide for more information).
2. Check the Power LED on the front of the ASA; if it is solid green, the device is powered on.
3. Check the Status LED on the front of the ASA; after it is solid green, the system has passed power-on diagnostics.
4. Modify the Initial Configuration for the ASA FirePOWER
Module (Optional)
The ASA ships with a default configuration that enables Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) connectivity to the
Management 0/0 interface. When you use a software module such as the ASA FirePOWER module, we recommend that you do
not use the default configuration, which can preclude the ASA FirePOWER module from reaching the Internet for updates. This
section describes how to apply a new configuration so the ASA FirePOWER can access the Internet. This configuration also enables
a basic usable configuration for an inside and outside network.
ASA 9.7 and Later
The following figure shows the recommended network deployment for the ASA 5500-X with the ASA FirePOWER module. This
deployment includes an inside bridge group that includes all but the outside interface so you can use these interfaces as an alternative
to an external switch.
