Abstract
A reversible fan module may include a first attachment member that may receive power from a controller when an orientation of the reversible fan module is a first orientation; a second attachment member that may receive power from the controller when the orientation of the reversible fan module is a second orientation; a first electrical connection, disposed between the first attachment member and the second attachment member, that may transmit power from the second attachment member to the first attachment member when the orientation of the reversible fan module is the second orientation; and a second electrical connection, disposed between the first attachment member and a fan unit, that may transmit power to the fan unit.
