Abstract

A mounting assembly includes a chassis having a plurality of opposite receiving tabs thereon, and a plurality of bracket subassemblies slidably mounted to the chassis along the receiving tabs of the chassis. Each bracket subassembly secures a fan therein and includes a bracket having a rear wall and two opposite sidewalls, a positioning member, and a lift-out apparatus attached to the bracket. The lift-out apparatus includes a clasping member fixed to the bracket, a sliding member slidably sandwiched between the sidewall of the bracket and the clasping member, and an elastic member. A locking structure is formed on the sliding member and the sidewall of the bracket. When the locking structure is unlocked, the sliding member is lifted out due to rebounding of the elastic member. The sliding member is then pulled to urge the bracket subassembly to disengage from the chassis.
