Reimage the ASA 5500-X or ISA 3000

Note

For the Firepower Threat Defense on the ASA 5512-X through 5555-X, you must install a Cisco solid state

drive (SSD). For more information, see the

required to use the ASA FirePOWER module. (The SSD is standard on the ASA 5506-X, 5508-X, and 5516-X.)

Reimage the ASA 5500-X or ISA 3000

Many models in the ASA 5500-X or ISA 3000 series support either Firepower Threat Defense or ASA software.

Console Port Access Required

To perform the reimage, you must connect your computer to the console port.

For the ASA 5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X, 5545-X, and 5555-X, you might need to use a third party serial-to-USB

cable to make the connection. Other models include a Mini USB Type B console port, so you can use any

mini USB cable. For Windows, you may need to install a USB-serial driver from software.cisco.com. See the

hardware guide for more information about console port options and driver requirements:

Download Software

Obtain Firepower Threat Defense software, or ASA, ASDM, and ASA FirePOWER module software. The

procedures in this document require you to put software on a TFTP server for the initial download. Other

images can be downloaded from other server types, such as HTTP or FTP. For the exact software package

and server type, see the procedures.

Note

A Cisco.com login and Cisco service contract are required.

Attention

The Firepower Threat Defense boot image and system package are version-specific and model-specific. Verify

that you have the correct boot image and system package for your platform. A mismatch between the boot

image and system package can cause boot failure. A mismatch would be using an older boot image with a

newer system package.
