SRX3600 Services Gateway Midplane

Copyright © 2013, Juniper Networks, Inc.
The services gateway receives data from the various physical interfaces on the I/O cards
(IOCs). Incoming data is passed through the Switch Fabric Board (SFB) to a Network
Processing Card (NPC), back to the SFB and on to a Services Processing Card (SPC).
The data is then passed out of the services gateway in reverse order—to the SFB, NPC,
SFB, and out to the IOC.

Installation Overview for the SRX3600 Services Gateway on page 47
The midplane in the SRX3600 Services Gateway is in the center of the chassis and
provides connections for installing up to six common form-factor modules (CFMs) through
the front of the chassis and up to six CFMs through the rear of the chassis. See
Component Locations in the SRX3600 Services Gateway Chassis" on page 11
about where the individual modules can be installed. The power supplies install into the
midplane from the rear of the chassis. The cooling system components also connect to
the midplane.
The midplane performs the following major functions:
Data path—Data packets are transferred across the midplane between the IOCs and
SPCs through the fabric ASICs on the SFBs.
Power distribution—The services gateway power supplies are connected to the
midplane, which distributes power to all of the services gateway components.
Signal path—The midplane provides the signal path to the IOCs, SFBs, SPCs, Routing
Engine, and other services gateway components for monitoring and control of the
system.
