Hardware Component Overview
PCG Components
Each PCG (shown in Figure 7) has the following components:
Signal generator—Provides a 125-MHz system clock signal.
EEPROM—Stores the serial number and revision level of the PCG.
Three LEDs—Indicate PCG status. There is a blue one labeled
MASTER
, a green
one labeled
OK
, and an amber one labeled
FAIL
. Table 6 describes the LED states.
Offline button—Prepares the PCG for removal from the router when pressed.

Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM)
The Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM) performs route lookup,
filtering, and switching on incoming data packets, then directs outbound
packets to the appropriate FPC for transmission to the network. It can
process 40 million packets per second (Mpps).
Up to four SFMs can be installed in the router, processing a total of 160 Mpps.
The SFMs are hot-pluggable, as described in Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) on
page 4. Removing or inserting an SFM causes a brief interruption in forwarding
performance (about 500 ms) as the Packet Forwarding Engine reconfigures
the distribution of packets across the remaining SFMs.
For SFM replacement instructions, see “Replacing an SFM” on page 188.
