1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device with a fan.
2. Description of Related Art
A fan is provided in an electronic device for cooling electronic components. However, the fan can be incorrectly installed if care is not taken during the installation. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
Referring to
The fan module 10 includes a bracket 13 and a fan 11. The bracket 13 includes a body 133, a first sidewall 131, and a second sidewall 135. The first and second sidewalls 131, 135 are located on opposite sides of the body 133. A holding space 1353 is defined in the bracket 13 through the first sidewall 131, the body 133, and the second sidewall 135. A plurality of first mounting holes 1311 is defined in the first sidewall 131. A plurality of second mounting holes 1351 is defined in the second sidewall 135. Referring to
The fan 11 is received in the holding space 1353 and includes a motor 113 and a plurality of blades 115 located on the shaft of the motor 113. The motor 113 is secured to the mounting portion 1313. A second distance D2 (shown in
