Physical Module.

For example, I/O cards, slots, units, and modules are modelled as physical modules. A physical module must be contained by a physical node and may contain physical ports. If the network equipment in question doesn't support physical modules but does support physical ports, a dummy physical module must be defined and the physical ports assigned to it.
