Information processing apparatus and control method utilizing a reference table to control a heat dissipation fan based on temperature data

A control method in an information processing apparatus including a processor, a controller, a solid-state storage device, and a heat dissipation fan, the processor and the controller being connected with the solid-state storage device by using a bus, and the solid-state storage device being installed at a position corresponding to the heat dissipation fan, the control method comprising:

• a first step in which the processor acquires identification information of the solid-state storage device in association with location information indicating a position of the solid-state storage device;
• a second step in which the controller acquires in advance an identification number and a logical address of the solid-state storage device, and configures a reference table by associating location information corresponding to an identification number acquired by the processor with a logical address corresponding to the identification number;
• and
• a third step in which, at a time of acquiring temperature data indicating a temperature of the solid-state storage device and a logical address of the solid-state storage device, the controller refers to the reference table to identify location information corresponding to the logical address from which the temperature data is transmitted, and controls a heat dissipation fan corresponding to a position indicated by identified location information based on acquired temperature data.
