Described is a fan assembly constructed to enable fans to be installed and
removed from a storage enclosure individually or collectively. The fan
assembly has a plurality of fan packs and a support frame that includes a
plurality of wells for holding fan packs. Each fan pack includes a fan
and a fan mount attached to the fan, and each fan pack is disposed in one
of the plurality of wells. A first latch-and-release mechanism secures
one of the fan packs to the side walls of the well within which that fan
pack is disposed. The first latch-and release mechanism enables that fan
pack to be removed individually from the fan assembly. A second latch-and
release mechanism secures the support frame to opposing side walls of an
enclosure. The second latch-and-release mechanism enables the fan
assembly to be removed from the enclosure while populated with the
plurality of fan packs.
