Abstract
An information processing system includes a support tray and a chassis supporting the support tray. The support tray may be part of an input/output module (IOM) removably received in the chassis. A fan frame is attached to the support tray. A fan assembly may be coupled to the fan frame. The fan assembly comprises a fan housing containing a fan rotor, a first fan guard having a first set of integrally formed teeth coupled to the fan housing and a second fan guard having a second set of integrally formed teeth coupled to the fan housing opposite the first fan guard. The first and second sets of teeth engage the fan frame to selectively attach the fan assembly to the fan frame. The fan frame may hold the fan assembly within an opening in the support tray in a recessed position relative to a face of the support tray.
