How do I tell if an SSD is installed?

I have a failover pair of Cisco ASA5545-X firewalls and I would like to upgrade these firewalls to add firepower. I can't tell whether these ASA5545-Xs have SSDs or not though.

Do they have SSDs in them?

Hi Daniel

You might need to uninstall that legacy IPS module to see if you have an SSD present via the "show inventory" command.

Please see this and follow Marvin's instructions.
