Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent excess noise from being generated and to avoid useless power consumption by providing a detecting means detecting the mounting state of a component so as to avoid the cooling means to a component not mounted from being operated. CONSTITUTION:A main storage means comprises storage means 1(0)-1(2), a control means 3 performing control for read/write and cooling means 2(0)-2(2) provided corresponding to the storage means 1(0)-1(2), and also a detection means 4 detecting the presence or absence of mounting of the storage means 1(0)-1(2). The detecting means 4 receives mounting information 6(0)-6(2) from the storage means 1(0)-1(2) and performs the control so that only the cooling means corresponding to the mounted storage means is operated.
