Each FPC has two PIC slots. Blank PICs resemble other PICs but do not provide any
physical connection or activity. When a PIC slot is not occupied by a PIC, you must insert
a blank PIC to fill the empty slot and ensure proper cooling of the system. PICs are
hot-removable and hot-insertable.
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.

Figure 61 on page 100 shows an example of a PIC supported on the PTX5000. PICs have
an upper ejector handle and a lower ejector handle.
