A removable fan module for an electronic apparatus includes a fan connectable to an external power source through a first connector and a chassis removably insertable into the electronic apparatus. The chassis includes a main plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, a first end plate, a second end plate, and a resilient plate extending from the first end of the main plate. A first and second protuberance extends outward from each side edge of the main plate. A first and second tab extends outward from an outer surface of each side plate adjacent the main plate. A latch protrudes from the distal end of the resilient plate. The chassis is attachable to the electronic apparatus by pressing the distal end of the resilient plate toward an opening in the electronic apparatus housing with the housing opening including two defined spaces extending outward from each opening edge. |

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
an enclosure comprising a side wall defining an opening, wherein the enclosure defines two cutouts respectively located at two opposite side edges of the opening; a circuit board mounted in the enclosure adjacent to the opening, wherein the circuit board comprises a first connector facing the opening; and a fan module comprising a chassis and a fan received in the chassis; wherein, the fan comprises a second connector, the chassis comprises a first bracket comprising:
a main plate with two protuberances respectively protruding from two opposite side edges of the main plate;two first side plates perpendicularly extending out from the two opposite side edges of the main plate, each first side plate comprising a tab protruding from an outer surface of the first side plate adjacent to the main plate;two first end plates perpendicularly extending out form two opposite end edges of the main plate, and connected between the first side plates; anda resilient plate located at an outer side of one of the first end plates, wherein the resilient plate comprises a latch protruding from a distal end of the resilient plate away from the first side plates; wherein, when in assemble of the fan module to the enclosure, the distal end of the resilient plate is pressed toward the opening, deforming the resilient plate, until the resilient plate abuts against an inner surface of the side wall, the fan module is received in the opening, the protuberances pass through the corresponding cutouts, the tabs are supported on an outer surface of the side wall, the second connector of the fan aligns with the first connector of the circuit board, the fan module is moved toward the first connector, until the second connector is connected with the first connector, the resilient plate is restored to allow the latch to abut against an end edge of the opening opposite to the first connector, for avoiding the second connector disengaged from the first connector, the protuberances abut against the inner surface of the side wall for avoiding the fan module disengaged from the side wall. |
