Installing a Double-High, Double-Wide Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module on the SRX Series Services Gateway

Caution: GPIMs are Online Insertion and Removal capable. Ensure that the GPIM is installed in the appropriate GPIM slot. For more information about the appropriate GPIM slots, see SRX Series Services Gateway Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Modules Overview.

The SRX650 Services Gateway chassis can hold interface modules that use four standard Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module (GPIM) slots. These GPIMs must be installed in specific groups of four standard slots, which include the top four slots (5, 6, 7, and 8) or the bottom four slots (1, 2, 3, and 4). Before installing the double-high, double-wide GPIM, you must first remove the center GPIM guide-rail bracket:

1. Remove the four blank GPIM slot covers from the slots into which you will install the double-high, double-wide GPIM.
2. Using a number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver, remove the screw from the center GPIM guide-rail bracket, as shown in Figure 1, and remove the guide-rail bracket.
3. Store the guide-rail bracket for later use. The guide-rail bracket can be stored on the rack-mount bracket, as shown in the callout in Figure 1.

4. To continue with the GPIM installation, see Installing a Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module on the SRX Series Services Gateway.

Caution: If you remove a double-high, double-wide GPIM, you should replace the bracket before you install blank faceplates or other GPIMs. This is important for maintaining radio frequency compliance.
