Abstract:
1. A storage device, comprising: a general-purpose chassis including therein a space accessible from both a front surface and a rear surface of the general-purpose chassis; a first memory unit inserted in the space from the front surface of the general-purpose chassis; a second memory unit inserted in the space from the rear surface of the general-purpose chassis; a first cooling device disposed to face the front surface of the general-purpose chassis, wherein the first cooling device includes a first moving device, the first moving device including at least one first fan, wherein the first moving device allows the first cooling device to move between a first position of coming close to the first memory unit and a second position of being away from the first memory unit, and wherein moving between the first position and the second position includes rotating about a first shaft located at a first vertical axis of the general-purpose chassis; a second cooling device disposed to face the rear surface of the general-purpose chassis, wherein the second cooling device includes a second moving device, the second moving device including at least one second fan, wherein the second moving device that allows the second cooling device to move between a third position of coming close to the second memory unit and a fourth position of being away from the second memory unit, and wherein moving between the third position and the fourth position includes rotating about a second shaft located at a second vertical axis of the general-purpose chassis; a first drive circuit that drives the at least one first fan of the first cooling device; a second drive circuit that drives the at least one second fan of the second cooling device; and a control device that controls a cooling operation mechanism of at least either the first cooling device or the second cooling device.
