1. An information handling system comprising:
a chassis configured to house components of the information handling system; and
a modular power supply module configured to be readily removable from the chassis and comprising:
an enclosure;
power supply components housed within the enclosure;
an air mover configured to drive airflow to cool one or more components of the information handling system; and
a mechanical assembly configured to mechanically couple the air mover to the enclosure that enables a user to remove the air mover from the enclosure while still coupled to the enclosure via the mechanical assembly, rotate the air mover 180 degrees relative to the enclosure while still coupled to the enclosure via the mechanical assembly, and reinsert the air mover into the enclosure, in order to modify a direction of airflow driven by the air mover.
