Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus such as a computer and a word processor.
The present invention relates to an information processing device in which a fixed storage device is housed inside a housing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in information processing apparatuses such as computers and word processors, large-capacity hard disk drives (hereinafter referred to as HDDs) have been used as fixed storage devices.

A conventional information processing apparatus will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the information processing apparatus. Reference numeral 31 denotes a housing of the information processing apparatus main body, 32 denotes a display unit of the information processing apparatus main body, and a housing 31 and a screw (not shown).
It is attached at. 33 is a control circuit board of the information processing apparatus, 33a is an input / output terminal of data provided on the control circuit board 33, 34 is a fixed storage device HDD,
4a is an input / output terminal for writing and taking out a program to and from a recording medium (not shown) in the HDD 34,
Is a cable for connecting the control circuit board 33 and the input / output terminals 34a of the HDD 34, and the input / output terminals 33a are provided at both ends.
35a and 35b for connecting to the first and the third a
have. The control circuit board 33 and the HDD 34 are respectively attached to the housing 31 with screws (not shown).

A method of writing a program on a recording medium inside the HDD 34 in the conventional information processing apparatus configured as described above will be described.

[0005] First, the screw is removed, and the display unit 32 is attached to the housing 31.
And separate. Then remove the screws and attach the HDD 34 to the housing 31.
Remove from Next, connect the connector 35b of the cable 35 to H
Pull out from the input / output terminal 34a of the DD 34. Then HDD3
A cable (not shown) from another information processing apparatus is connected to the input / output terminal 34a of No. 4 to write a program.

After the program is written, it is mounted in the reverse order.

[0007]

However, such a conventional information processing apparatus has the following problems.

To perform a program writing operation, the display unit 32 and the HDD 34 must be removed and attached, and the cable 35 must be connected.
A lot of work steps were required, such as attaching and detaching a cable, and attaching and detaching a writing cable. In addition, cable 3
When attaching and detaching the write cable 5 and the write cable, a load is applied to the input / output terminal 34a, and the input terminal 34a is likely to be deformed.

As described above, when a program is written in the built-in fixed storage device, it is almost always performed by disassembling the main body of the information processing device and removing the fixed storage device, which requires much time and labor. And had In addition, a terminal failure may occur.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and has a relay board for writing a program to a fixed storage device, and an opening provided in an information processing apparatus housing. Things. Thus, it is possible to easily write a program into the fixed storage device, and it is possible to prevent a terminal failure of the fixed storage device from occurring.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a relay board provided with a terminal for writing a program in a built-in fixed storage device, and is provided opposite to the terminal of a housing of the information processing apparatus main body. And an opening cover for covering the opening.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the information processing apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0013]

【Example】

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the back surface of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view thereof.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of an information processing apparatus, which includes a control circuit board 2 on which a CPU (not shown) and the like are disposed in a housing, an HDD 3 as a large-capacity fixed storage device, and the like. The control circuit board 2 has an input / output terminal 2a and the HDD 3 has an input / output terminal 3a.
4b is connected to the cable 5 via connectors 5a and 5b of the cable 5. The relay board 4 is provided with a connector 4c for writing a program to a storage medium (not shown) inside the HDD 3. Further, the information processing apparatus main body 1
An opening 1a is provided at a position facing the connector 4c, and a detachable opening cover 7 that covers the opening 1a is attached.

In the information processing apparatus of the present embodiment configured as described above, when writing the program to the storage medium inside the HDD 3, the opening cover 7 is removed from the information processing apparatus main body 1 and the program is inserted through the opening 1a. This is performed by inserting a writing cable (not shown) and connecting to the connector 4c. After the writing operation, the program writing cable is disconnected from the connector 4c, and the opening cover 7 is attached again.

When writing a program to the HDD 3, it is only necessary to remove the opening cover 7 and connect a program writing cable to the connector 4c of the relay board 4 from the opening 1a, so that the working time is greatly reduced. Also, there is no need to connect directly to the HDD 3, and
There is no possibility that a terminal failure or the like occurs in D3.

In the embodiment, the control board and the relay board are separated from each other. However, it is needless to say that both can be integrated as long as the layout is possible.

[0018]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

A fixed storage device is mounted in the main body of the information processing apparatus, and a relay board provided with a terminal for program writing is provided between the main body and the control board. By providing an opening in the storage device, a program can be easily written to the fixed storage device.
