Abstract

An electronic device according to the present invention includes: a substrate; first and second connectors provided on a front surface and a back surface of the substrate, respectively; and first and second storage devices connectable to the first and second connectors, respectively. In the electronic device, the first and second storage devices are connected to the connectors with the largest surfaces of each of the first and second storage devices being substantially parallel to the front surface and the back surface. Moreover, a placement position of the first connector on the front surface is not opposed to a placement position of the second connector on the back surface, with the substrate in between.

Claims (27)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a substrate;

connecting parts provided on a front surface and a back surface of the substrate; and

two storage devices connectable to the connecting parts, wherein

the storage devices are connected to the connecting parts, with a largest surface of each of the storage devices being substantially parallel to the front surface and the back surface, and

a placement position of one of the connecting parts on the front surface is not opposed to a placement position of the other one of the connecting parts on the back surface, with the substrate in between.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 wherein

the connecting parts include a first connecting part provided on the front surface, and a second connecting part provided on the back surface,

one of the two storage devices is connected to the first connecting part by being moved in a first direction,

the other one of the two storage devices is connected to the second connecting part by being moved in a second direction, and

the first connecting part and the second connecting part are provided so that the first direction and the second direction are different.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

one of the two storage devices is adjacent to the front surface of the substrate, and the other one of the two storage devices is adjacent to the back surface of the substrate.

4. An electronic device comprising:

a substrate;

connecting parts provided on a front surface and a back surface of the substrate; and

a storage device and a space occupying body which are connectable to the connecting parts, wherein

the storage device is connected to one of the connecting parts, with the largest surface of the storage device being substantially parallel to the front surface and the back surface,

the space occupying body is connected to the other one of the connecting parts, with the largest surface of the space occupying body being substantially parallel to the front surface and the back surface, and

a placement position of the one connecting part on the front surface is not opposed to a placement position of the other connecting part on the back surface, with the substrate in between.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein

the connecting parts include a first connecting part provided on the front surface of the substrate, and a second connecting part provided on the back surface of the substrate,

the storage device is connected to the first connecting part by being moved in a first direction,

the space occupying body is connected to the second connecting part by being moved in a second direction, and

the first connecting part and the second connecting part are provided so that the first direction and the second direction are different.

6. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein

the storage device is adjacent to the front surface of the substrate, and the space occupying body is adjacent to the back surface of the substrate.
