Caution: PIMs are not hot-swappable. You must power off the Services Router before removing or inserting a PIM module. Ensure that the PIMs are installed in the router chassis before booting up the system. |
J Series Services Routers accept Physical Interface Modules (PIMs) in the slots on the front of the chassis.

A Physical Interface Module (PIM) is a network interface card that is installed on a J Series Services Router to provide physical connections to a LAN or a WAN. The PIM receives incoming packets from the network and transmits outgoing packets to the network. Each PIM is equipped with a dedicated network processor that forwards incoming data packets to the Routing Engine and receives outgoing data packets from the Routing Engine. During this process, the PIM performs framing and line-speed signaling for its medium type.
For a complete list of supported PIMs, see Field-Replaceable PIMs.
A single WXC Integrated Services Module (also called an ISM 200) can be installed like a PIM in J2350, J4350, and J6350 routers to provide WAN acceleration. For more information, see the WXC Integrated Services Module Installation and Configuration Guide.
