Abstract
A fastenerless clip attaches a system component to the inside of a chassis of a computer system. The clip is detachably mountable and includes a clip body with a resilient portion to provide a compressive force that securely holds the system component in position against a face of the chassis. The fastenerless clip is useful in attaching rotary cooling fans to a lateral face of a computer system chassis.
