ABSTRACT:
Each disk enclosure117contains an ENC bypass113A for a disk connector111A, and PBC101A and103A, which perform selective switching to transfer data via either the disk connector111A or the ENC bypass113A. When the occurrence of an anomaly in the disk connector111A is detected, the CTL5A connected to the disk connector111A asks the CTL5B to bypass the disk connector111A, whereupon the CTL5B switches the data communication path from the disk connector111A to the ENC bypass113A by controlling the PBC101A and103A.
