A fan mounting apparatus includes a base, a fan mount which is operable to couple to the base, and a latch member pivotally coupled to the fan mount, the latch member operable to reduce vibration from a fan module and including a duct member operable to direct airflow from the fan module. The base may be mounted adjacent a heat sink to provide easy installation of a fan module adjacent the heat sink and for more efficient use of the airflow from the fan module to the heat sink.
