SRX5800 Services Gateway Switch Control Board Description

The Switch Control Board (SCB) provides the following functions:

  • Powers on and powers off IOCs and SPCs
  • Controls clocking, system resets, and booting
  • Monitors and controls system functions, including fan speed, board power status, PDM status and control, and the system front panel
  • Provides interconnections to all the IOCs within the chassis through the switch fabrics integrated into the SCB

When the SCB is part of a host subsystem, the Routing Engine installs directly into a slot on the SCB (see Figure 1).
