Desktop Mount the ASA
You can mount the ASA on a desktop by placing it on a desk in a horizontal position. Make sure there are no
blockages or obstructions within one inch of the top of the ASA or within .5 inch of the sides and back, so
that nothing interferes with cooling. Do not remove the rubber feet included with the ASA. They are also
needed for proper cooling.
Caution
Do not stack the ASA chassis on top of another ASA chassis. If you stack the units, they will overheat, which
causes the units to power cycle.
