SRX210 Services Gateway Mini-Physical Interface Modules
The SRX210 Services Gateway supports Mini-Physical Interface Modules (Mini-PIMs).
A Mini-PIM is a network interface card (NIC) that is installed on the services gateway
to provide physical connections to a LAN or a WAN. The Mini-PIM receives incoming
packets from the network and transmits outgoing packets to the network. The
Mini-PIMs supported on the services gateway are field-replaceable. The field
replaceable Mini-PIMs are removable and insertable into the device. You can install
a Mini-PIM into the Mini-PIM slot available on the front panel of the services gateway
chassis.
For more information about supported Mini-PIMs, including how to install and
configure Mini-PIMs, refer to the SRX Series Services Gateways for the Branch Physical
Interface Modules Hardware Guide.
CAUTION: The Mini-PIMs available on the SRX210 Services Gateway are not
hot-swappable. You need to power off the device before removing or installing
Mini-PIMs.
