Juniper Networks MX480 - Manual (Page 40)

MICs receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the
network. During this process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for
its media type. Before transmitting outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces,
the MPCs encapsulate the packets received.
MICs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. You can install up to two MICs in the slots
in each MPC.

MX480 Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) Description
A Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) occupies two DPC slots on an MX Series router. The
router has six dedicated DPC slots that are numbered
0 through 5 , bottom to top. Up to
three FPCs can be installed horizontally on the front of the router (see Figure 9 on
page 17 ). The interface corresponds to the lowest numbered DPC slot for which the FPC
is installed.
