Abstract:
1. A mounting apparatus comprising: a chassis, the chassis comprising two sidewalls parallel to each other; two mounting members, each of the two mounting members rotatably secured to each of the two sidewalls and comprising a connecting board, two clipping portions located on the connecting board, an abutting piece located on one side of the connecting board, a pulling portion extending from the connecting board, and a limiting portion located on another side of the connecting board; the connecting board of each of the two mounting members configured to clamp a fan module to prevent the fan module from moving in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the two sidewalls, and the two clipping portions of each of the two mounting members configured to clamp the fan module to prevent the fan module from moving in a plane substantially parallel to the two sidewalls, the abutting piece of each of the two mounting members abutting each of the two sidewalls for absorbing vibration, the pulling portion of each of the two mounting members being secured to each of the two sidewalls, and an obtuse angle being defined between the connecting board and the pulling portion; and an installation member configured to rotatably secure to the fan module, the installation member comprising two pivot pieces, and each of the two pivot pieces defining a pivot hole, wherein the limiting portion is received in the pivot hole for preventing the fan module from moving in a second direction, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction and substantially parallel to the plane; and the installation member is rotatable relative to the fan module to disengage the limiting portion from the pivot hole; an end of the pulling portion forms a rotating portion, the chassis comprises two installation pieces extending from each of the two sidewalls and substantially parallel to each other, the rotating portion is pivotably engaged between the two installation pieces; and the rotating portion defines a mounting hole, each of the two installation pieces defines an installation hole, and each of the two mounting members is rotatably secured to each of the two sidewalls by a locking member extending through the installation holes and the mounting hole.
