1. An assembly comprising:
a planar surface;
a plurality of first features formed from the planar surface;
a plurality of second features formed from the planar surface, each second feature of the plurality of second features associated with one of the first features of the plurality of first features; and
a plurality of fan modules coupled together in a fan housing assembly, each of the fan modules coupled to one of the first features of the plurality of first features using a first clip disposed at an end of a front three-edge corner proximal to the planar surface and the associated second feature of the plurality of second features using a second clip diagonally disposed across the fan module from the first clip at a rear three-edge corner proximal to the planar surface, a first fan module of the plurality of fan modules having at least one unattached three-edge corner with an end distal to the planar surface shaped to couple with at an end distal to the planar surface of an attached front three-edge corner on an adjacent second fan module of the plurality of fan modules.
