Method for cooling storage device

Abstract

The present invention aims at improving a cooling efficiency and a maintenance workability related to heat generating components in a storage subsystem. Therefore, the present invention provides multiple cooling fans configured to cool multiple components for operating the storage subsystem, a first wind direction panel defining a passage configured to blow a cooling air generated by the cooling fans to a first component, a second wind direction panel defining a passage configured to blow a cooling air generated by the cooling fans to a second component having a smaller heating value than the first heat generating component and having a low temperature, and a chassis configured to store the multiple components, the cooling fans and the first and second wind direction panels, wherein the second wind direction panel is configured to be integrated with a side wall of the chassis and detachable from the chassis.
