    摘要: In this invention, the CPU of a NAS board, which is liable to become hot, is cooled by concentrating a larger amount of air onto a heat sink. A plurality of logic circuit boards 3 are mounted on a control section 1D of a disc array device 1. The circuit component 4A for realizing the NAS function, liable to become hot, is provided with a heat sink 5. The aperture of the main air inlet section (Wb) is covered with a top plate 8. Airflow guidance sections (Wa, Wc) are respectively provided on both sides of the main air inlet section. Since the fin pitch of the airflow guidance sections is set narrow, the air inflow resistance (airflow resistance) of these is higher than that of the main air inlet section. Due to this difference in airflow resistance, the air in the vicinity of the airflow guidance sections is guided into the main air inlet section. The top plate 8 prevents outflow of air that has flowed into the main air inlet section to outside the heat sink 5.

    摘要: In a disk array apparatus, by taking note of a first sound of a specific frequency which is a noise element of original sounds generated from a fan, a second sound whose phase is inverted to that of the first sound is generated by a structure of a cooling air flow path passing through the fan, and the second sound is synthesized with the first sound on the cooling air flow path, thereby reducing the noise. For example, an exhaust duct is located on a fan unit in an upper part of the apparatus, two flow paths extending to an exhaust port are formed in an internal structure of the exhaust duct, and the two flow paths are designed so that the difference in the flow path length therebetween becomes equivalent to half wavelength of the specific frequency.
