Removing a Blank Mini-Physical Interface Module Faceplate from the SRX Series Services Gateway
To maintain proper airflow through the services gateway, a blank faceplate should cover any empty Mini-Physical Interface Module (Mini-PIM) slot.
 | Caution: Do not remove a blank faceplate unless you are installing a Mini-PIM in the empty slot. |
| Caution: The Mini-PIMs available on the SRX Series Services Gateway are not Online Insertion and Removal capable. You must power off the device before removing or installing Mini-PIMs. |
To remove a blank faceplate from the SRX Series Services Gateway:
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the device.
- If the device is powered on, power off the device. Verify that the Power LED is off.
- Loosen the screws on each side of the faceplate.
- On faceplates with handles, use a 1/8-in. (3-mm) flat-blade (–) screwdriver to loosen but not remove the captive screws.
- On faceplates without handles, use a number 1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the noncaptive screws.
- Remove the faceplate. See Figure 1.
