Abstract
A structure for mounting a cooling fan easily and conveniently and in the correct orientation only includes a chassis and at least one fan module. The chassis has a block, a first nut, and a second nut. The fan module has at least one accessory. The block is mounted on the first nut or the second nut. When the block is fixed on the first nut, the fan module can only be placed and installed so as to blow air into the chassis, and when the block is fixed on the second nut, the fan module can only be installed so as to extract air out of the chassis, thereby ensuring the correct mode of operation. An electronic device and a server using the structure is also disclosed.
