Abstract

A fan module for dissipating heat from a computer server includes a mounting bracket and a fan mounted on the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is mounted to an outside of the computer server. The mounting bracket is hollow and forms an air passage in an interior of the mounting bracket. The air passage is communicated with an interior of the computer server. An airflow generated by the fan flows into the interior of the computer server through the air passage to take heat away from the interior of the computer server.
