Abstract
A fan securing device includes first and second holders. The first holder includes a first holding frame that has two holding slots located in opposite sides of the first holding frame, and two first locking units respectively formed adjacent to the holding slots. The second holder includes a second holding frame that has two connecting arms located on opposite sides of the second holding frame and extending respectively into the holding slots. Each connecting arm has a plurality of second locking units. Each first locking unit engages a selected one of the second locking units of a respective one of the connecting arms so as to clamp at least one cooling fan between the first and second surfaces.
