Abstract
An electronics unit (EU) stand may include a base and a fan carrier. The base is to couple to an electronics unit having heat generating components. The fan carrier supports a fan. The fan carrier is movably coupled to the base to move the fan between a first position relative to the base and second position relative to the base.

An electronics unit (EU) stand comprising:
- a base to couple to an electronics unit having heat generating components, the base having a perimeter;
- and
- a fan carrier supporting a fan having blades extending about a fan hub, the fan carrier being movably coupled to the base to move the fan hub between a first position within a perimeter of the base and a second position beyond the perimeter of the base,
- wherein the fan carrier or the base comprises a groove formed therein that acts as an airflow passage for airflow moved by the fan.

An electronics unit (EU) stand comprising:
- a base coupled to an electronics unit and extending in a plane;
- and
- a fan carrier supporting a fan having blades extending about a fan hub, the fan carrier being movably coupled to the base to move the fan hub between a first position relative to the base in which the fan hub extends along a first axis perpendicular to the plane and a second position relative to the base in which the fan hub extends along a second axis perpendicular to the plane, wherein the fan is to direct airflow parallel to the first axis and the second axis, wherein the fan carrier or the base comprises a groove formed therein that acts as an airflow passage for airflow moved by the fan.
An electronic system comprising:
- an electronics unit having heat generating components;
- and
- a stand supporting the electronics unit, the stand comprising:
- a base having a perimeter;
- and
- a fan carrier supporting a fan having blades extending about a fan hub, the fan carrier being movably coupled to the base to move the fan hub between a first position within a perimeter of the base and a second position beyond the perimeter of the base wherein the fan carrier or the base comprises a groove formed therein that acts as an airflow passage for airflow moved by the fan.
