Abstract
An electrically powered cooling unit (), such as a fan unit, is mountable on a support structure () within a housing (), for example a computer housing. The support structure () can mount one or more electrically powered cooling units (). Each cooling unit () includes an electrical connector () fixed relative to the cooling unit and cooperable with a connector of the support structure, so that offering the cooling unit up to its mounting position completes the electrical connections between the cooling unit and the support structure. In alternative embodiments, a single structure is used both to physically support and electrically connect the cooling unit () to the support structure ().
