摘要： The invention efficiently mounts substrates to back planes and accomplishes high quality signal transfer. Connectors to which N adaptor substrates are fitted and connectors to which M bus switch substrates are fitted are provided to a multi-layered back plane. Signal pin groups of the connector on the adaptor substrate side are grouped into M data paths. Signal pins of the connector on the adaptor substrate side and corresponding signal pins of the connector on the bus switch substrate side are arranged horizontally in such a fashion as to exist on the same plane (with positions in a Z direction being substantially equal). Therefore, wiring patterns for connecting corresponding signal pins can be formed substantially linearly and a large number of substrates can be efficiently mounted to a limited area.

摘要： One or more switches are interposed between a controller portion and a storage device. When transmission of a command to a certain storage device fails, a command is transmitted starting from an upstream side to a downstream side of a path between the controller portion and the switch to which the certain storage device is connected, and when command transmission fails while transmitting a command from a kth switch (k is an integer of 0 or more) which is connected to a (k+1)th switch and is one level upstream of the (k+1)th switch or from any port of the controller portion, it is determined that a failure has occurred in a power source that supplies power to the (k+1)th switch.

摘要： There are provided a cache region that stores write data from a host device, storage media, a data storage region for the storage media, and a comparison unit. A first comparison object is generated for N items of write data on the cache region and the N items of write data are transferred to the data storage region. Write data is read from a designated address of the data storage region and this write data is written to the storage media. When N items of write data have been read, a second comparison object is generated in respect of the write data. The comparison unit compares the first comparison object and the second comparison object, and if the result of the comparison is a mismatch, the N items of write data on the cache region are again transferred to the data storage region.
