Abstract
A configurable airflow direction fan system includes a fan device with a fan chassis connector, and a fan chassis that connects to a computing device. A first airflow direction fan device connector on the fan chassis connects to the fan chassis connector on the fan device when the fan device is mounted to the fan chassis in a first airflow direction orientation that will produce a first direction airflow in the computing device when the fan chassis is positioned in the computing device. A second airflow direction fan device connector on the fan chassis connects to the fan chassis connector on the fan device when the fan device is mounted to the fan chassis in the second airflow direction orientation that will produce a second direction airflow in the computing device that is different than the first direction airflow when the fan chassis is positioned in the computing device.
