Abstract
An equipment fan has a housing () which is configured as a plug-in module for an equipment rack. The housing has a front side () and a back side (), the latter being slid into the equipment rack () first upon installation. For latching into this kind of equipment, the housing () has at least one resiliently deflectable detent member (), which, for its actuation, is associated with a respective actuation member () that is operable from the front side of the housing. Troughs () are located on the front side (), and a respective actuator () for each deflectable member is located in each. The detent member () has pretensioning which urges the detent member away from the housing () so that, when the housing is slid into a piece of equipment, latching of the housing () therein is accomplished.
