Information handling system with vibration reduction in a fan carrier

An information handling system comprising:

• a fan;
• a motherboard to communicate with the fan via a motherboard-side connector, a fan-side connector, and a cable;
• and
• a fan carrier including:
• a fan mounting section to be placed in physical communication with the fan, the fan mounting section having both structural rigidity and vibration rigidity;
• a connector mounting section to be placed in physical communication with the fan-side connector, the connector mounting section having structural rigidity to align the fan-side connector with a motherboard-side connector;
• and
• a connecting section in physical communication with and located in between the fan mounting section and the connector mounting section, the connecting section having structural rigidity and vibration flexibility, wherein the vibration flexibility reduces vibrations from the fan before the vibrations are transmitted to the fan-side connector.

• a connector mounting section to be placed in physical communication with the fan-side connector, the connector mounting section having structural rigidity to properly align the fan-side connector with a motherboard-side connector, the connector mounting section including:
• a connector insert to receive the fan-side connector and to hold the fan-side connector in a proper alignment position for a connection with the motherboard-side connector;
• and
• a connecting section in physical communication with and located in between the fan mounting section and the connector mounting section, the connecting section including:
• a lateral support to provide structural rigidity to the connecting section;
• and
• a geometric structure to provide vibration flexibility to the connecting section, wherein the vibration flexibility reduces vibrations from the fan before the vibrations are transmitted to the fan-side connector.
