Hi Everyone,
Asking for your help again, first of, I already read a ton of guide on how to initial setup i.e., prime the FirePOWER module so that's covered.
Recently, one of our clients purchased a new ASA with FirePOWER services, all is well and good, until I saw this on the Bill-of-Materials, it has SF-FP5.3.1-K9.
As far as I know, we the admins are the one who will prime the device e.g, through bootstrap and OUR desired system software.
My question is, do I really need to start from v5.3.1? or can I just jump ahead to 5.4? e.g., upload bootstrap 5.4 and sys software 5.4
Note this is a new fresh-from-the-box-with-the-smell-of-cisco ASA ^_^
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Aditya,
Thanks for the reply,
But note this is a very new installation, nothing has been installed yet. The ASA hasn't been even turned on for the 1st time yet.
Basically, we just opened the ASA box just now,
I am just asking If can prime the device directly to 5.4 or do i need to install 5.3.1 first?
