Abstract
An apparatus includes a fan having a fan housing with guidance members extending from opposing sides of the housing, wherein the fan housing has a depth that is less than a height and width. A handle is pivotably coupled to the fan housing, and guidance tracks are positioned on opposing sides of an open channel. Each of the guidance tracks has a first track portion extending from a first face of a chassis in a first direction into the chassis and a second track portion extending from the first track portion in a second direction. The guidance members move along the corresponding guidance tracks, wherein the fan housing moves along the first track portion in a sideways orientation and reaches an operating orientation in the second track portion.
