Abstract: A storage apparatus includes: a front disk unit for receiving a first modular inserted from the front face of a general purpose chassis into a space with a plurality of first cooling devices in an opened state; and a rear disk unit for receiving a second modular inserted from the back face of the general purpose chassis into a space with a plurality of second cooling devices in an opened state. Furthermore, the storage apparatus includes a regulating member for regulating, according to an open-close state of at least one cooling device from among the plurality of openable first cooling devices and the plurality of openable second cooling devices which are provided to face the front face and back face of the general purpose chassis, respectively, an open-close state of the remaining cooling devices.

Abstract: Stable cooling performance can be secured. A storage apparatus includes: a front disk unit for receiving a first modular inserted from the front face of a general purpose chassis into a space with a plurality of first cooling devices in an opened state; and a rear disk unit for receiving a second modular inserted from the back face of the general purpose chassis into a space with a plurality of second cooling devices in an opened state. Furthermore, the storage apparatus includes a regulating member for regulating, according to an open-close state of at least one cooling device from among the plurality of openable first cooling devices and the plurality of openable second cooling devices which are provided to face the front face and back face of the general purpose chassis, respectively, an open-close state of the remaining cooling devices.
