In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a fan tray comprising a plurality of fans for cooling modules within a modular electronic system with airflow from a front of the modular electronic system to a back of the modular electronic system, and a hinge member for connecting the fan tray to a front panel of the modular electronic system with the fans positioned in front of the modules. The fan tray is rotatable on the hinge member for movement away from the front panel to allow for replacement of one of the modules.
