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. You can install up to two PICs in the slots in
each FPC. 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.

MX240 PIC Port and Interface Numbering
Each port on a PIC corresponds to a unique interface name in the CLI.
In the syntax of an interface name, a hyphen (-) separates the media type from the FPC
number (represented as an FPC in the CLI). The FPC slot number corresponds to the first
number in the interface. The second number in the interface corresponds to the PIC
number. The last number in the interface matches the port number on the PIC. Slashes
(/) separate the FPC slot number from the PIC number and port number:
type-fpc/pic/port
•
type—Media type, which identifies the network device. For example:
•
ge—Gigabit Ethernet interface
•
so—SONET/SDH interface
•
xe—10-Gigabit Ethernet interface
For a complete list of media types, see Interface Naming Overview.
•
fpc—Lowest slot number in which the FPC is installed. On the MX240 router, the FPC
occupies two line card slots and is represented in the CLI as FPC 0 or FPC 1.
•
pic—PIC number, 0 or 1 depending on the FPC slot.
For more information on specific PICs, see “PICs Supported by MX240, MX480, and
MX960 Routers” on page 62 in the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
•
port—Port number.
The FPC installs horizontally in either slots 1/0 and 1, or slots 1 and 2 and accepts up to
two PICs.
Figure 25 on page 61 shows a Channelized OC12/STM4 Enhanced IQ (IQE) PIC with SFP
installed in PIC slot 0 of an FPC installed in slot 1 and slot 2.
