Installing SFP/SFP+ Modules
The IPS SSP-10 and IPS SSP-20 have two SFP/SFP+ ports. The IPS SSP-40 and IPS SSP-60 have four
SFP/SFP+ ports. If you are using the fiber ports, you need an SFP+ module for 10-Gigabit Ethernet (a
license may be required) or an SFP module for 1-Gigabit Ethernet (SFP or SFP+ modules are not
included).
Note
Make sure the ASA software version that is installed on your ASA 5585-X supports the network module.
Refer to the Release Notes for your ASA software version to verify that the network module is supported.
Note
Only SFP/SFP+ modules certified by Cisco are supported on the adaptive security appliance 5585-X.
Caution
Protect your SFP/SFP+ modules by inserting clean dust plugs into the SFP/SFP+ modules after the
cables are extracted from them. Be sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug
them back into the optical bores of another SFP/SFP+ module. Avoid getting dust and other
contaminants into the optical bores of your SFP/SFP+ modules. The optics do not operate correctly when
obstructed with dust.
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 70
