Power and Heat Dissipation Requirements for J-series PIMs

On J-series Services Routers, the system monitors the PIMs and verifies that the PIMs fall within the power and heat dissipation capacity of the chassis. If power management is enabled and the capacity is exceeded, the system prevents one or more of the PIMs from becoming active.

Caution: Disabling power management can result in hardware damage if you overload the chassis capacities.

You can also use CLI commands to choose which PIMs are disabled. For details about calculating the power and heat dissipation capacity of each PIM and troubleshooting procedures, see the J2320, J2350, J4350, and J6350 Services Router Getting Started Guide.
