The SRX5400 Services Gateway is a high-performance, highly scalable, carrier-class
security device with multiprocessor architecture.
The SRX5400 Services Gateway is 5 rack units (U) tall. You can stack eight services
gateways in a rack that is at least 48 U (89.3 in. or 2.24 m) in height if it has a 1 in. cap
between for increased port density per unit of floor space.
The services gateway provides four slots that you can populate with one Switch Control
Board (SCB) and up to three additional cards of the following types:
Services Processing Cards (SPCs) provide the processing capacity to run integrated
services such as firewall, IPsec, and IDP.
NOTE:
The SRX5400 Services Gateway supports only the
SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 (SPC2) and does not support the
SRX5K-SPC-2-10-40 (SPC1).
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) provide Ethernet interfaces that connect the
services gateway to your network.
