Abstract
A fan carrier includes a fan mounting section, a connector mounting section, and a connecting section. The fan mounting section is placed in physical communication with a fan of an information handling system. The fan mounting section has both structural rigidity and vibration rigidity. The connector mounting section is placed in physical communication with a fan-side connector of the information handling system. The connector mounting section has structural rigidity to properly align the fan-side connector with a motherboard-side connector of the information handling system. The connecting section is in physical communication with and located in between the fan mounting section and the connector mounting section. The connecting section has structural rigidity and vibration flexibility, and the vibration flexibility reduces vibrations from the fan before the vibrations are transmitted to the fan-side connector.
