A computer, or other similar type of electronic component, in which a plurality of components are disposed in a chassis. A fan assembly is mounted in the chassis for forcing air through the chassis. The fan and the chassis are provided with one or more mounting members for permitting the fan to be installed in the chassis in a manner to establish an air flow in the chassis in a predetermined direction. The mounting members prevent the installation of the fan in the chassis in a manner to establish air flow in a direction opposite the predetermined direction.
