M E M O R Y M O D U L E C O V E R — Covers the compartment that contains the memory module(s). H A R D D R I V E — Stores software and data.

B A T T E R Y / B A T T E R Y B A Y — When a battery is installed, you can use the computer without connecting the computer to an electrical outlet. See page 25.

B A T T E R Y L A T C H R E L E A S E — Releases the battery.

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

NOTE: The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. Fan noise 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. Do not store your computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting the airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire.
