We consider a D-dimensional cosmological model describing an evolution of Ricci-flat factor spaces, M_1,...M_n (n > 2), in the presence of an m-component perfect fluid source (n > m > 1). We find characteristic vectors, related to the matter constants in the barotropic equations of state for fluid components of all factor spaces. We show that, in the case where we can interpret these vectors as the root vectors of a Lie algebra of Cartan type A_m=sl(m+1,C), the model reduces to the classical open m-body Toda chain. Using an elegant technique by Anderson (J. Math. Phys. 37 (1996) 1349) for solving this system, we integrate the Einstein equations for the model and present the metric in a Kasner-like form.
