an engagement mechanism configured to support a fan module;
a housing configured to support the engagement mechanism, the engagement mechanism being pivotally connected to the housing;
a mesh plate including at least one connector coupled to the engagement mechanism, the mesh plate being configured to move with respect to the housing between a first position in which the mesh plate is spaced from the housing and a second position in which the mesh plate is adjacent to the housing; and
a spring configured to engage the engagement mechanism,
wherein the spring is configured to bias the engagement mechanism to pivot with respect to the housing to present the fan module for removal, and
wherein, when the engagement mechanism is pivoted with respect to the housing, the mesh plate is maintained in the second position.
