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.
