S-Video TV-Out Connector

Use this connector to attach your computer to a television.

Air Vent

HINT: The computer turns on the fans only when the computer gets hot. They may run most of the time or very seldom, depending on your use of the computer. Because the fans spin at a high rate of speed, they may make a noise. This noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fans or the computer.

The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.

CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Doing so can damage the computer or cause a fire.

Back View

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before you disconnect an external device.

HINT: The computer turns on the fans only when the computer gets hot. The fans may make a noise, which is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fans or the computer.

CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Doing so can damage the computer or cause a fire.
