Electronic apparatus having built-in hard disk device
First Claim
1. An electronic apparatus in which a hard disk device having a thermistor sensor operable to detect a temperature in the hard disk device is incorporated, wherein when the hard disk device records information, in a case where the temperature detected by the thermistor sensor is higher than a predetermined temperature, the hard disk device executes self-diagnostic function to read out and verify recorded information, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- controlling section operable to control functions of the electronic apparatus;
a notifying section operable to notify an abnormality of the electronic apparatus; and
a fan operable to cool the electronic apparatus, wherein;
the controlling section determines whether the hard disk device executes the self-diagnostic function;
the controlling section acquires the temperature detected by the thermistor sensor from the hard disk device when the controlling section determines that the hard disk device executes the self-diagnostic function; and
when the acquired temperature is higher than a first reference temperature, the controlling section activates the fan and controls the notifying section to output a caution massage indicating an first alert level to notify the abnormality of the electronic apparatus; and
when the acquired temperature is higher than a second reference temperature which is higher than the first reference temperature, the controlling section forcibly deactivates the electronic apparatus and controls the notifying section to output a warning massage indicating a second alert level which is higher than the first alert level to notify the abnormality of the electronic apparatus.

Abstract
A hard disk device has a temperature detection device operable to detect a temperature in the hard disk device. A controlling section is operable to control functions of an electronic apparatus. A notifying section is operable to notify an abnormality of the electronic apparatus. The controlling section acquires the temperature detected by the temperature detection device from the hard disk device. The controlling section controls the notifying section to notify the abnormality of the electronic apparatus when the acquired temperature is higher than a reference temperature.
