RACK COOLING DEVICE, RACK AND COMPUTER SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cool a sever device, a disk device, and a network device by sufficiently taking in and exausting air to and from each device without enlarging a rack installation area when these devices are mounted. SOLUTION: The rack cooling device has a rack body 4 for an EIA standard 19 inch-rack directed for the sever device and the disk device, the server 3 is mounted to the rack through a first rail 5. The server 3 is cooled by taking in air from the front side and exausting the air from the backside, the rack cooling device has second rails 6, 6 supporting the network device 2 in the rack body 4 in a state that the width direction is parallel or almost parallel with the longitudinal direction of the rack body 4 and a lower partition 7 and an upper partition 8 disposed spaced out at a predetermined distance between the side in the width direction of the network device 2 and the rack cooling device, the network device 2 is cooled by taking in and exausting the air though an space between both partitions 7, 8 and the side of the network device 2, and the exhausted air from the server 3 is blocked by both partitions 7, 8.
