Troubleshooting the MX240 FPCs on page 382
An FPC occupies two slots when installed in an MX240, MX480, or MX960 router. The
maximum number of supported FPCs varies per router:
MX960 router—6 FPCs
MX480 router—3 FPCs
MX240 router—1 FPC
Table 40 on page 57 lists FPCs supported by MX Series routers.

MX Series PIC Overview
PICs Supported by MX240, MX480, and MX960 Routers on page 59
High Availability Features
PICs provide the physical connection to various network media types, receiving incoming
packets from the network and transmitting outgoing packets to the network. During this
process, each PIC performs framing and line-speed signaling for its media type. Before
transmitting outgoing data packets, the PICs encapsulate the packets received from the
FPCs. Each PIC is equipped with an ASIC that performs control functions specific to the
media type of that PIC.
PICs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. You can install up to two PICs in the slots in
each FPC. PICs used in an FPC2 have captive screws at their upper and lower corners.
PICs used in a Type 3 FPC have an upper ejector handle and a lower captive screw.
