<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for utilizing integrity information on lifetime components of a cooling fan etc. <P>SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus includes the cooling fan that includes a sensor which gathers lifetime information needed to predict a lifetime and monitoring and notification means of sending out the lifetime information to a signal line for other information in a superimposing manner; a filter which excludes a component of the lifetime information from the signal line; and state monitoring means of predicting the lifetime of the cooling fan based upon the lifetime information. The cooling fan includes the sensor gathering the lifetime information needed to predict the lifetime, and the monitoring and notification means of sending out the lifetime information to the signal line for other information in a superimposing manner. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
