Services Processing Card SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 Specicaons
The SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 Services Processing Card (SPC) contains four Services Processing Units
(SPUs), which provide the processing power to run integrated services such as rewall, IPsec, and IDP
(see Figure 4 on page 15). All trac traversing the rewall is passed to an SPU to have services
processing applied to it. Trac is intelligently distributed by I/O cards (IOCs) to SPUs for services
processing.
The rewall must have at least one SPC installed. You can install addional SPCs to increase services
processing capacity.
You can install SPCs in any of the slots that are not reserved for Switch Control Boards (SCBs). 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.
If your rewall contains a mix of SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 SPCs and earlier SRX5K-SPC-2-10-40 SPCs, an
SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 SPC must occupy the lowest-numbered slot of any SPC in the chassis. This
conguraon ensures that the center point (CP) funcon is performed by the faster and higher-
performance SPC type.
