Physical Interface Modules (PIMs) provide the physical connection to various network media types. For information about individual PIMs, see Field-Replaceable PIMs.
For pinouts of PIM cable connectors, see Network Cable Specifications and Connector Pinouts. For PIM replacement instructions, see Replacing a PIM.
Each J4350 and J6350 Services Router has six front panel slots for field-replaceable PIMs. These slots are numbered from top to bottom and from left to right as shown in the slot number diagram on the front panel, shown in Figure 20.

Gigabit Ethernet and 4-port Fast Ethernet ePIMs can be installed in high-speed slots only. High-speed slots are indicated by a black triangle containing an E in the front panel slot number diagram. On J4350 Services Routers, the high-speed slots are slot 3 and slot 6. On J6350 Services Routers, the high-speed slots are slots 2, 3, 5, and 6.
Slot 0 is the fixed interface module that contains the built-in Ethernet ports.
