PIMs are removable and insertable only when the Services Router is powered off. You install PIMs into slots in the router chassis. If a slot is not occupied by a PIM, a PIM blank panel must be installed to shield the empty slot and to allow cooling air to circulate properly through the router.
This section contains the following topics:
Table 18 provides software release information, port numbers, and sample interface names for the field-replaceable PIMs and modules supported on J2320 and J2350 Services Routers. For interface naming conventions, see the JUNOS Software Interfaces and Routing Configuration Guide. The supported PIMs can be installed in any slot available on the J2320 and J2350 routers. The WXC Integrated Services Module supported on the J2350 model occupies two slots. You can install only one of these modules in a router chassis.

Caution: Do not install a combination of modules in a single chassis that exceeds the maximum power and heat capacity of the chassis. If J Series power management is enabled, PIMs and modules (PIMs or PIMs plus a WXC Integrated Services Module) that exceed the maximum power and heat capacity remain offline when the chassis is powered on. |
To verify that the combination of modules to be installed in a chassis does not exceed the power and heat capacities for the router, see Planning for Power Management.

Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs are supported on J2320, J2350, J4350, and J6350 Services Routers. Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs are available in four versions.
The 1-port and 6-port SFP Gigabit Ethernet uPIM, shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23, have small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers to allow you to use different connectors. The optical SFP transceivers supported by these uPIMs are described in Table 21.
Figure 22: 1-Port Gigabit Ethernet uPIM

Figure 23: 6-Port Gigabit Ethernet uPIM

The 8-port and 16-port Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs, shown in Figure 24 and Figure 25, have RJ-45 connectors.
Figure 24: 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet uPIM

Figure 25: 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet uPIM

Features. Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs provide the following key features:
1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, and 1000Base-LH SFP transceivers have the following characteristics:
For pinouts of cable connectors for Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs, see Gigabit Ethernet uPIM RJ-45 Connector Pinout.
Limitations. Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs have the following limitations:
Installation. Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs can be inserted in any slot on J2320, J2350, J4350, or J6350 Services Routers.
Throughput for a uPIM is higher when it is inserted in a high-speed slot. High-speed slots are slots 3 and 6 on the J4350 router, and slots 2, 3, 5, and 6 on the J6350 router.
16-port Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs are two slots high. Because the connector on the PIM is on the lower half, the PIM occupies the slot that it is plugged into and the slot above it. Thus you cannot install a 16-port uPIM in the top slots of a router. For example, on a J4350 router you cannot install a 16-port uPIM in slots 1 and 4. If you install the PIM in slot 2, it occupies both slots 2 and 1.
To install or remove a PIM, see Replacing a PIM.
Interface LEDs. For 8-port and 16-port Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs, the activity LED is located on the left side of each port, and the link LED is located on the right side of each port. For the 6-port Gigabit Ethernet uPIM, the LEDs are located to the right of each port, with the link LED above the activity LED. LEDs on the 1-port uPIM are clearly labeled.Table 20 describes the meaning of the LEDs.
