MX960 Application Services Modular Storage Card Description

Application Services Modular Storage Card (AS MSC) is a NAND Flash-based card that is inserted into the
upper slot of the Application Services Modular Line Card (AS MLC). The AS MSC (see
serves as the second tier caching storage for platforms such as the Junos Content Encore system. This
card is equivalent to a PIC or a Modular Interface Card (MIC) and provides a maximum of 3.6 Gbps read
and 2 Gbps of write memory.
The AS MSC has the following features:
400 GB NAND Flash memory
Up to 10 years of write memory
Multilevel cell (MLC) NAND memory support
Best-in-class NAND controller for maximum performance and reliability
AS MSCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. One AS MSC can be installed in the top slot of each AS
MLC. Each AS MSC has these components:
SATA-3 controller—An eight-ports, 6 Gbps SAS/SATA controller.
NAND Flash controller— NAND Flash and NAND Flash controller are used in an AS MSC.
Control plane—Inter-integrated circuit control plane that allows Peripheral Component Interconnect
Express (PCIe) control.
LEDs—Two LEDs display the status of the AS MSC and storage.
Online/offline button—To power on or power off the AS MSC.
