M10i Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) Description

Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) house the PICs that connect the router to network media (for information about PICs, see M10i PICs Description). On the M10i router, each FPC is built in (it cannot be removed from the chassis as on other M Series platforms) and corresponds to a horizontal row of PIC slots. The two FPCs on the M10i router are numbered 0 and 1, top to bottom. Each FPC accommodates up to four PICs.
