Information on 3945 router and ASA 5520 FW

Question

Kindly help me.
I requested for 3945 Router, to be equipped with advanced security IOS. On delivery, it came with only one power source, and no IOS license for the security feature.. All the ones i have seen on cisco site have two power sources. The vendor is claiming that it comes with one power source by default, and that the security feature does not need any license.
Kindly confirm this to me.
Secondly, the ASA firewall has a slot meant to be occupied by a flash-like PCMCIA card, but it is empty. Asking the vendor, he says the card is embedded in the interior of the chassis. Can this be true?
I need you to help me with these clarifications.
Thank you.
