2 Powering On the ASA
Step 1 Attach the power cable to the back of the ASA. If you have redundant power supplies, you must connect both power cables to the back of the chassis.

Step 2 Connect the power cable(s) to the electrical outlets.
Step 3 Power on the ASA.
Step 4 Check the Power LED on the front of the ASA; if it is solid green, the device is powered on.
Step 5 Check the System LED on the front of the ASA; after it is solid green, the system has passed power-up diagnostics.

•You should use the high-capacity bus slots (5, 7, 8) for 10-Gigabit Ethernet adapters; other adapters can be placed in any slot.
•Distribute traffic on the I/O bridges using the following best practices:
–Have equal amounts of traffic on both I/O bridges.
–Keep traffic flow within the same I/O bridge.
For example, the ideal traffic distribution would be:
a.Half the traffic stays on slots 7 and 8.
b.The other half of the traffic stays on slots 3 through 6.
Steps a and b achieve both best practices above. If you cannot achieve both practices, then you should prefer the first best practice: have equal amounts of traffic on both I/O bridges.
See the Hardware Installation Guide for more information about maximizing throughput on the ASA 5580.
