The ASA 5585-X adaptive security appliance is a 2 RU, two-slot chassis accommodating up to two AC power supply modules, which also contain the necessary cooling components for operation, although you can install a fan module in the second bay. The Security Services Processor (SSP) resides in slot 0 (the bottom slot) and the optional Intrusion Prevention System Security Services Processor (IPS SSP) resides in slot 1 (the top slot). All port numbers are numbered from right to left beginning with 0.
In addition to world-class performance, the ASA 5585-X deploys encrypted traffic inspection, port density, and feature performance matching, that is, performance parity between firewall and IPS functions. The ASA 5585-X series adaptive security appliances ship with a core SSP; You must have the core SSP to run the IPS SSP.
The ASA 5585-X SSP-60 provides firewall, VPN support, and 10 interfaces (4 SFP/SFP+ and 6 copper Gigabit Ethernet). You can also order it with the IPS SSP-60, which adds intrusion prevention system protection, and an additional 10 interfaces. The SSP-60 ships with two power supply modules; however, the SSP-60 can function with only one power supply module. Although the SSP-60 with IPS SSP-60 can also operate with only one power supply module, they recommend that you install two power supply modules for extended reliability since the power supply modules operate in load-sharing mode. If one fails in this configuration, the other power supply module can still handle the full load until the failed power supply module is replaced. The SSP-60 has two CPUs, 12 DIMM modules, four embedded crypto accelerators, and two dual-port 10-GB uplinks for the SFP/SFP+ interfaces.
