Midplane

The midplane is located in the center of the chassis and forms the rear of
the PIM card cage (see Figure 6). You install the PIMs into the midplane
from the front of the chassis. Data packets are transferred across the
midplane from the PIM to the Routing Engine, and from the Routing
Engine across the midplane to the destination PIM.

Routing Engine

The Routing Engine provides three main functions:
The Routing Engine consists of the following components:
