Patent ID: 8477508

Claim:
A blade comprising: a pan assembly having a first planar portion that forms a bottom surface of the blade; a printed circuit board coupled to the pan assembly, wherein the printed circuit board is mounted such that a non-zero tilt angle exists between the printed circuit board and the first planar portion of the pan assembly; a first blade hardware located on a first surface of the printed circuit board, wherein the first blade hardware exhibits a first height; a second blade hardware located on a second surface of the printed circuit board, opposite the first surface, wherein the second blade hardware exhibits a second height that is less than the first height, and wherein the printed circuit board is located between the first blade hardware and the first planar portion of the pan assembly; a first media interface module mounted on the second surface of the printed circuit board and exposed at a front end of the blade; a second media interface module mounted on the first surface of the printed circuit board, wherein the second media interface module is exposed at the front end of the blade, wherein the non-zero tilt angle positions the printed circuit board farthest from the first planar portion of the pan assembly near the front end of the blade.
