Preventive Maintenance

Caring for Your Notebook

SDid you know... Your Notebook computer is cooled by air that is drawn in through the vents on the chassis and blown out through the exhaust fan. It is important to keep the vents on the chassis free of dust and debris. Brush any dust away from the vents with a damp cloth but do not attempt to dismantle the Notebook to clean dust from the inside of the Notebook. If you dismantle your Notebook, you may permanently damage the components on your Notebook.

The computer is designed to run demanding applications that require PC Cards, CD-ROM drives, and large amounts of RAM while maintaining full processor performance.

As a result of increased power consumption, it is normal for the computer to feel warm to hot when being used for extended periods.

This computer complies with international safety standards for temperatures of user-accessible surfaces.

Your Notebook computer is designed as a durable product. However, when you transport it, Compaq recommends that you put it in a portable notebook carrying case. To enhance the life of your system, follow these Do’s and Don’ts.
