Abstract: A fan inlet plate is provided in which a portion of the inlet plate is integral with and disposed at an angle with respect to the rest of the inlet plate to define a baffle of the fan. The portion of the inlet plate can be bent from the rest of the inlet plate. Also, the portion of the inlet plate can be at least partially cut from the rest of the inlet plate in order to facilitate bending of the portion as just described. An inlet structure for a fan housing is also provided, and has a first wall at least partially covering a side of the fan, and a second wall integral with the first wall and extending to inside the fan. In some embodiments, the first and second walls are integrally formed by a molding process.
