Abstract
A fan carrier is to be placed in physical communication with a fan-side connector of an information handling system. The fan carrier includes a plunger assembly and multiple isolators. The plunger assembly is biased toward an at-rest position. The plunger assembly is in physical communication with the fan-side connector when the plunger assembly is in a deformed position. The isolators are mounted on the fan carrier, and dampen vibration energy in the fan carrier and prevent the vibration energy from being transferred to the fan-side connector. The isolators enable the fan-side connector to float within the fan carrier.
