Abstract

See full text

A hot-pluggable cabinet cooling fan assembly is mounted to an exterior face of a cabinet in such a way as to enable removal or service of the fan assembly without either disrupting the operation of the cabinet being cooled or opening of cabinet doors. First and second plugs are provided on confronting faces of the fan assembly and the exterior face of the cabinet. Mechanical elements are carried by the confronting faces that prealign the plugs, while other mechanical elements are carried by the plugs that finely align the electrical connection elements of the plugs. A handle is provided that allows single-handed fan assembly mounting and dismounting.
