         4 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the frame is substantially a “U” shaped. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall defines a plurality of ventilation holes, and the frame surrounds the plurality of ventilation holes. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device enclosure is a keyboard enclosure. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a mounting member, wherein the mounting member secures the fan to the cover. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the fan comprises a plurality of blades and a rotating portion connected to the plurality of blades; the rotating portion comprises a rotating shaft and defines a mounting slot; the cover defines a through hole; and the mounting member comprises a mounting portion, and the mounting portion is engaged in the mounting slot through the through hole. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the mounting member further comprises an installation arm and a mounting post extending from the installation arm; the cover further defines an installation slot and an inserting hole in a distal end of the installation slot; the installation arm is received in the installation slot, and the mounting post is engaged in the inserting hole. 
     
     
         10 . An electronic device assembly comprising:
 a fan module comprising a cover, a fan secured to the cover, and a frame secured to the cover;   a bottom plate of an electronic device enclosure; and   a mounting member securing the fan to the cover and comprising a mounting portion;   wherein the frame is secured to the bottom plate; the cover facing the bottom plate; the frame, the cover, and the bottom plate cooperatively define a receiving space; the fan is located in the receiving space between the cover and the bottom plate; the fan comprises a plurality of blades and a rotating portion connected to the plurality of blades; the rotating portion comprises a rotating shaft and defines a mounting slot; the cover defines a through hole; and the mounting portion is engaged in the mounting slot through the through hole.   
     
     
         11 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the bottom plate is integrated with the frame. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the frame is removably mounted on the bottom plate. 
     
     
         13 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the frame is substantially a “U” shaped. 
     
     
         14 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the bottom wall defines a plurality of ventilation holes, and the frame surrounds the plurality of ventilation holes. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the electronic device enclosure is a keyboard enclosure. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic device assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the mounting member further comprises an installation arm and a mounting post extending from the installation arm; the cover further defines an installation slot and an inserting hole in a distal end of the installation slot; the installation arm is received in the installation slot, and the mounting post is engaged in the inserting hole.
