On J-series Services Routers, the system monitors the PIMs and verifies that a newly inserted PIM falls within the power and heat dissipation capacity of the chassis. CLI commands allow you to choose which PIM to turn off if the power or heat dissipation capacity is exceeded.

Table 1 shows the power consumption and heat dissipation, represented in non-dimensional tokens, assigned to each J-series PIM.
