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. Up to two PICs can be installed in the slots
in each FPC. Up to six FPCs can be installed in an MX960 router. 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.

Each port on a PIC corresponds to a unique interface name in the CLI.
In the syntax of an interface name, a hyphen (
