Patent ID: 7760496

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a main unit; a cooling fan that suctions open air into the main unit to cool inside the main unit; and a nonvolatile semiconductor memory drive comprising: a circuit board having a rectangular shape; a plurality of nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices, each of which being mounted on the circuit board and having a shape having long edges and short edges; a memory controller that is mounted on the circuit board and controls the nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices; and a temperature sensor that is provided between one of the long edges of a specific nonvolatile semiconductor memory device included in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices and one of edges of the memory controller, wherein the nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices are mounted on the circuit board while being arranged so that four of the long edges and the short edges are adjacent to one another, and wherein the memory controller, the temperature sensor, and the specific nonvolatile semiconductor memory device are arranged in this order along an air flow by the cooling fan in the main unit.
