A mounting bracket designed specifically for the Changwang Pioneer Edition N100 device, optimized for efficient heat dissipation. The bracket is crafted from robust silver‑colored metal or high‑strength, metal‑like plastic, featuring a square shape with chamfered corners. At its center lies a large, circular fan mount that precisely accommodates and securely fastens standard‑sized cooling fans. Each of the four corners is equipped with a short, thick, black cylindrical locating pin—though the pin at the lower right corner is noticeably taller, incorporating a fail‑safe design to ensure the bracket can only be installed in the correct orientation, fitting snugly into the corresponding port on the device’s motherboard. This design provides stable support and precise alignment for the fan, optimizing airflow through the system and significantly enhancing thermal performance.

Design Highlights

• Fail‑Safe, High‑Profile Locating Pins

  The prominently raised locating pin at the bottom right serves as the core anti‑misalignment feature, ensuring the bracket can only be inserted into the motherboard port in its single, correct orientation—preventing hardware damage caused by reverse installation.

• Precise Circular Fan Mount

  The central, circular recess is meticulously sized to perfectly match the outer dimensions of common cooling fans, guaranteeing that once installed, the fan sits centered and securely in place, maintaining an optimal thermal gap between the fan and the heat‑generating components.

• Stable Corner Locks

  The four corner‑mounted cylindrical pins work in concert to firmly secure the bracket to the motherboard, preventing shifting or poor contact due to fan vibration or device movement.

• Durable Metal Construction

  Constructed from metal or high‑rigidity materials, the bracket remains deformation‑free under prolonged exposure to fan weight and installation stresses, delivering reliable structural support over time.

Technical Specifications

• Compatible Devices: Changwang Pioneer Edition N100 motherboard/device
• Compatible Fans: Standard‑size case cooling fans (such as 9025, 12025, etc.; ensure the fan’s dimensions align with the circular recess)
• Key Components: 1 primary circular fan mount, 4 motherboard locating pins (including 1 fail‑safe, elevated pin)
• Recommended Materials: Aluminum alloy or high‑strength engineering plastic
• Installation Tips: When installing, align the taller locating pin at the bottom right with the corresponding hole on the motherboard port, then apply gentle downward pressure. Once all locating pins are fully seated, secure the fan in place.

Application Scenarios

▸ Add an active cooling fan to the Changwang N100 mini‑host or development board to reduce CPU and motherboard temperatures.

▸ Retrofit N100 devices originally designed without fans, boosting stability and performance under heavy workloads.

▸ Use as a mounting bracket when building DIY mini ITX hosts or soft routers, securing and positioning intake or exhaust fans within the case.

▸ Serve as a mounting base for cooling modules, ideal for other compact computing devices that require similar secure attachment solutions.
