ABSTRACT:
A fan mounting apparatus includes a base having a fan support. An elongated handle extends from the base for positioning the base in a chassis. A securing member is located adjacent a distal end of the elongated handle for securing the base in a chassis. The fan mounting apparatus may be used to couple and secure a fan module in a channel defined by a chassis by using the elongated handle to position the fan module in the chassis and secure the fan module to the chassis.
