ERX Modules
Each system supports an SRP module and a selection of line modules. You can use
any line module for access or uplink. Access line modules receive traffic from
low-speed circuits, and the system routes the traffic onto higher-speed uplink line
modules and then to the core of the network.
Each module connects to a corresponding I/O module via a passive midplane. See
Figure 8 on page 9.
The front panel of each module contains a collection of status LEDs (light-emitting
diodes). For information about how to interpret the LEDs, see "Troubleshooting" on
page 95.

NOTE: Some line modules require a minimum amount of memory to be used with
JUNOSe Release 5.3.0 or a higher-numbered release. See the ERX Module Guide for
line module specifications.

Switch route processor (SRP) modules perform system management, routing table
calculations and maintenance, forwarding table computations, statistics processing,
