Abstract
An electronic device includes an enclosure, a bracket, a connector, and a fan. The enclosure includes a bottom plate and two side plates located on the bottom plate. The bracket is secured to the side plates and includes a bottom wall. The bottom wall is substantially parallel to the bottom plate and defines an installing opening. Two locking pieces extend from two opposite edges of the installing opening. Each of the locking pieces defines a locking hole. The connector is secured in the installing opening, the connector comprising two resilient portions. A locking protrusion protrudes from each of the resilient portions. The locking protrusions of the resilient portions engage in the locking holes of the locking pieces. The resilient portions are deformable to disengage the locking protrusions from the locking holes. The fan is received in the bracket and adapted to be electrically coupled to the connector.
