MX-SPC3 Services Card
The MX-SPC3 Services Card is supported on MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers. It provides additional
processing power to run the Next Gen Services.
It contains two Services Processing Units (SPUs) with 128 GB of memory per SPU. Line cards such as
DPCs, MICs, and MPCs intelligently distribute all traffic traversing the router to the SPUs to have services
processing applied to it (see Figure 31 on page 124).
You can install the MX-SPC3 in any of the slots that are not reserved for Switch Control Board (SCB). If a
slot is not occupied by a card, you must install a blank panel to shield the empty slot and to allow cooling
air to circulate properly through the device.
