Installing and Booting an Image on the Module
If the module suffers a failure, and the module application image cannot run, you can reinstall a new
image on the module from a TFTP server (for a hardware module), or from the local disk (software
module).
Note Do not use the upgrade command within the module software to install the image.
Prerequisites
• Hardware module—Be sure the TFTP server that you specify can transfer files up to 60 MB in size.
Note This process can take approximately 15 minutes to complete, depending on your network
and the size of the image.
• Software module—Copy the image to the ASA internal flash (disk0) before completing this
procedure.
Note Before you download the IPS software to disk0, make sure at least 50% of the flash memory
is free. When you install IPS, IPS reserves 50% of the internal flash memory for its file
system.
