Mini-Physical Interface Modules on the SRX240 Services Gateway

The SRX240 Services Gateway supports Mini-Physical Interface Modules (Mini-PIMs).

A Mini-PIM is a network interface card (NIC) that is installed on the SRX240 Services Gateway to provide physical connections to a LAN or a WAN. The Mini-PIM receives incoming packets from the network and transmits outgoing packets to the network.

The Mini-PIMs supported on the SRX240 Services Gateway are field-replaceable, meaning that they are removable and insertable into the device. You can install a Mini-PIM into the Mini-PIM slots available on the front panel of the services gateway chassis.

Caution: The Mini-PIMs available on the SRX240 Services Gateway are not hot-swappable. You need to power off the device before removing or installing Mini-PIMs.

For more information about supported Mini-PIMs, including how to install and configure Mini-PIMs, refer to the SRX Series Services Gateways for the Branch Physical Interface Modules Hardware Guide.
