Box to Box mode is an Active/standby configuration.
For active-active Virtual interface redundancy is used (Where CSS serves as master of one virtual router and backup to a differnt VR)
Box to Box Redundancy
When to Use:
?When Active/Standby is the expected behavior.
?When a dedicated 10/100 link can be configured link between the CSS?s
?When Configuration-Synchronization is needed
When not to use:
?When Active/Active is needed
?When a dedicated 10/100 link between CSS?s cannot be used.
?Lack of 10/100 ports, or the switches are too far apart.
Hope it helps

Thanks Syed for the reply,
but my question is the Content Switch model CSS11501S-C support Active-Standby ?
I worked on CSS11506 and i have configured two boxes with Active-Standby but for this one i'm confused because if you check the data sheet you will find that ..

As per my understanding CSS11501S-C is only different then 11501 in the terms that it supports ssl termination and Http compression.
The data sheet you mentioned doesn't mention ACtive/Standby for even 11503 & 11506. I can guarantee you that host to host in supported on 11503 and 11506.
I have not worked on CSS11501S-C specifically but I think it should support Box to Box Active/standby redundancy.
