SRX Series Services Gateway Interface Overview
Mini-Physical Interface Modules (Mini-PIMs) and Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Modules (GPIMs)
are field-replaceable network interface cards (NICs) supported on the Juniper Networks SRX Series Services
Gateway for the branch. You can easily insert or remove Mini-PIMs and GPIMs from the front slots of the
SRX Series Services Gateway chassis. The Mini-PIMs and GPIMs provide physical connections to a LAN
or a WAN. The Mini-PIMs and GPIMs receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing
packets to the network. During this process, they perform framing and line-speed signaling for the medium
type. The SRX Series Services Gateways run Junos OS.
CAUTION:
hot-swappable. You must power off the services gateway before removing or installing
Mini-PIMs.
