Caution: PIMs are not hot-swappable. You must power off the Services Router before removing or inserting a PIM. 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.
