Information processing blade and information processing apparatus using the same

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an information processing blade computer;
• a main body configured to store said information processing blade computer;
• a heat exchange section through which a heat medium flows;
• a first pipe supported by said main body, and connected to said heat exchange section to supply said heat medium to said heat exchange section;
• and
• a second pipe supported by said main body, and connected to said heat exchange section to receive said heat medium from said heat exchange section,
• wherein said information processing blade computer comprises:
• a board having a blade structure;
• a part contained in a circuit which is mounted on said board to execute an process, wherein heat is generated during an operation of said part;
• and
• a holding mechanism provided to detachably hold said heat exchange section on said part for heat exchange with said part, and
• said first and second pipes are supported by said main body such that said heat exchange section comes to said part.

A method of cooling a part of a circuit in an information processing blade computer, comprising:

• supporting a heat exchange section by first and second pipes, wherein heat medium flows through said heat exchange section, said heat medium is supplied to said heat exchange section through said first pipe, and said heat medium is supplied from said heat exchange section through said second pipe;
• storing said information processing blade computer in a main body;
• guiding said heat exchange section on said part while said information processing blade computer is stored in said main body;
• and
• holding said heat exchange section on said part for heat exchange with said part.
