ABSTRACT:
The present invention permits mounting and optimization of a hierarchically necessary number of units corresponding to the scale of input/output subsystems. An input/output subsystem is organized by dividing it into a basic portion including power units and an expanded portion including one or more input/output units. Each of the input/output subsystems has a plurality of built-in magnetic disk modules. The enclosure of a subsystem are composed of a basic enclosure mounting thereon power units and a prescribed number of input/output units forming a basic portion, and an expanded enclosure mounting thereon remaining input/output units other than those mounted on the basic enclosure. The power unit automatically recognizes the mounting status of input/output units, and ensures a necessary power supply capacity.
