Abstract:
An air mover assembly may include an air mover comprising a body and a cable extending from the body and one or more air mover holders mechanically coupled to the body. The one or more air mover holders may comprise a plurality of cable maintenance features and a keying feature. The plurality of cable maintenance features may include a first cable maintenance feature configured to maintain the cable in a first configuration of the air mover in a first airflow direction and a second cable maintenance feature configured to maintain the cable in a second configuration of the air mover in a second airflow direction. The keying feature may be configured to mechanically interface with an interfering feature of a chassis when an attempt is made to improperly insert the air mover into the chassis in accordance with a proper airflow direction configuration of the chassis, in order to prevent improper insertion of the air mover into the chassis in accordance with the proper airflow direction configuration of the chassis.
