Flex I/O Cards and Port Modules

Flex I/O Cards (flex IOCs) are IOCs with two slots, which accept port modules that
add Ethernet ports to your services gateway. A flex IOC with installed port modules
functions in the same way as a regular IOC, but allows greater flexibility in adding
different types of Ethernet ports to your services gateway. Figure 1 on page 2 shows
a flex IOC with two typical port modules installed.

Figure 1: Flex IOC with Port Modules

NOTE: Your services gateway must be running JUNOS version 9.5R1 or later in order
to recognize flex IOCs and port modules.

Each flex IOC has a processor subsystem, which includes a 1.2-GHz CPU, a system
controller, 1 GB SDRAM, and two Packet Forwarding Engines (PFEs) with a maximum
throughput of 10 Gbps each. See “Installing a Flex IOC” on page 11 and “Removing
a Flex IOC” on page 9 for information about installing and removing flex IOCs.

Table 1 on page 2 describes the different port modules available.

Flex I/O Cards and Port Modules

You use port modules and flex IOCs to add different combinations of SFP, XFP, and
TX ports to your services gateway to suit the specific needs of your network. The
available port modules are shown in Figure 2 on page 3. See “Installing a Port
Module” on page 14 and “Removing a Port Module” on page 12 for information
about installing and removing port modules.

Flex IOC Components

Each flex IOC consists of the following components:

■ Flex IOC cover, which functions as a ground plane and a stiffener

■ Two slots for port modules

■ Fabric interfaces

■ Two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that allow control information, route information,

and statistics to be sent between the Routing Engine and the CPU on the flex
IOC

■ Two interfaces from the SCBs that enable the flex IOC to be powered on and

controlled

■ Two 10 Gbps PFEs

■ Midplane connectors and power circuitry

■ Processor subsystem, including a 1.2-GHz CPU, a system controller, and 1 GB

Port Module Components

Each port module consists of the following components:

■ Port module cover, which functions as a ground plane and a stiffener

■ Physical I/O port connectors

■ Ethernet switch

■

Online button (behind pinhole) for bringing the port module online and offline

■ Port module slot connectors and power circuitry

Port Module LEDs

LEDs on the faceplate of each port module indicate the status of the module and of
each port. Table 2 on page 4, Table 3 on page 4, and Table 4 on page 5 describe
the LEDs on each port module type.

Handling and Storing Cards

This section explains how to avoid damaging the cards (IOCs, SPCs, host subsystems,
and port modules) that you install into the services gateway. Many components on
the cards are fragile.

CAUTION: Failure to handle cards as specified in this document can cause irreparable
damage.

This section discusses how to hold cards in both the vertical and horizontal positions.
Regardless of orientation, this section uses the same terms for all four edges of the
card (see Figure 3 on page 6):

■ Faceplate—Edge of the card that has connectors to which you connect cables or

sockets for SFP or XFP transceivers.

■ Connector edge—Edge opposite the faceplate; this edge has the connectors that

attach to the midplane.

■ Top edge—Edge at the top of the card when it is vertical.

■ Bottom edge—Edge at the bottom of the card when it is vertical.

NOTE: The instructions in this section apply to all card and port module types.

Holding a Card

When you carry a card, you can hold it either vertically or horizontally.

NOTE: A card weighs up to 13.1 lb (5.9 kg). Be prepared to accept the full weight of
the card as you lift it.

To hold a card vertically:

1. Orient the card so that the faceplate faces you. To verify orientation, confirm

that the text on the card is right-side up and the electromagnetic interference
(EMI) strip is on the right-hand side.

2. Place one hand around the card faceplate about a quarter of the way down from

the top edge. To avoid deforming the EMI shielding strip, do not press hard on
it.

3. Place your other hand at the bottom edge of the card.

If the card is horizontal before you grasp it, place your left hand around the faceplate
and your right hand along the bottom edge.

To hold a card horizontally:

1. Orient the card so that the faceplate faces you.

2. Grasp the top edge with your left hand and the bottom edge with your right hand.
