Abstract

A network processing device, such as a router, is implemented in a thin form factor chassis that encloses a primary printed circuit board. The router chassis has elongated openings on its top surface that permit access to connectors mounted on the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes all of the necessary electronic components that operate to receive, process, and transmit information over the network.
