SRX5800 Services Gateway Card Terminology

Regardless of orientation, this information uses the same terms for all four edges of the card (see Figure 1):

• Faceplate—Edge of the card that has connectors to which you connect cables or sockets for SFP or XFP transceivers
• Connector edge—Edge opposite the faceplate; this edge has the connectors that attach to the midplane
• Top edge—Edge at the top of the card when it is vertical
• Bottom edge—Edge at the bottom of the card when it is vertical

Note: This terminology applies to SPCs, IOCs, and SCBs in addition to Routing Engines and port modules
