A first cooling module has a tab extending outwardly therefrom, the tab having an aperture extending therethrough. A second cooling module has a backwall and one or more flexible prongs extending in a first direction from the backwall and through the aperture of the tab in a snap-fit attachment. The tab is spaced from the backwall when the one or more prongs are attached to the tab. The second cooling module also has a boss extending in a second direction from the backwall, wherein the boss has a receptacle aligned with the aperture of the tab. In the event of damage to the one or more prongs, the one or more prongs can be removed, and a fastener can be fastened through the aperture of the tab and into the boss.
