Abstract
A fan shroud includes a faceplate having slots. Spacer panels and a top plate extend from the faceplate. Hook-like locking features extend from the spacer panels and locking flanges extend from the top plate. To secure a fan in place, the fan shroud is mounted to a rack of a computer system using the hook-like locking features and the locking flanges. The faceplate of the fan shroud is adjacent to and secures the fan in place.
