In a disk array system, cooling means with a great versatility capable of efficiently
performing a cooling and a heat radiation of the objects to be cooled on the circuit
board in a small space and a structure capable of stably supplying the power from
a DC—DC converter to the electronic components on the circuit board are provided.
A circuit board is stored in a logic box in a state where a heat sink is fitted
thereto, a power supply section supplies a voltage to the circuit board, and a
fan is used in the ventilation for the circuit board. The circuit board has an
LSI and a wiring area as the objects to be cooled. A heat sink including a base
part having a flat surface to cover the whole of the objects to be cooled and radiator
fins is provided. The board fitted with the heat sink is assembled in such a manner.
That is, the circuit board and the heat sink are made opposed to each other and
then connected with interposing the block with high thermal conductivity, which
is filled depending on the height of the objects to be cooled, therebetween. Thereafter,
the whole is fixed by the screws and the like.
