ABSTRACT:
A fan assembly (20) used for dissipating heat from an electronic device. The fan assembly includes a bracket (30) and a fan module (40). The bracket has two parallel retaining walls (31). Each retaining wall defines an opening (311) and two recesses (313) at opposite sides of the opening. The fan module is received in the bracket. The fan module includes a fan (50) and a pair of clamping members (60). The fan has a pair of fan openings in alignment with the openings of the bracket for airflow flowing therethrough. The clamping members are respectively attached to opposite sides of the fan. A pair of resilient arms (67) extends out from each clamping member. Each resilient arm has an engaging portion (671) received in the corresponding recess of one of the retaining walls. The fan module is retained in the bracket via the engaging portions engaging with the recesses and being sandwiched between the retaining walls.
