Vents (2)

Enable airflow to cool

 

 

internal components.

 

 

Ä To prevent overheating, do not

 

 

obstruct vents. Use the computer

 

 

only on a hard, flat surface. Do

 

 

not allow another hard surface,

 

 

such as an adjoining optional

 

 

printer, or a soft surface, such as

 

 

pillows or thick rugs or clothing, to

 

 

block airflow.

 

 

Å The computer fan starts up

 

 

automatically to cool internal

 

 

components and prevent

 

 

overheating. It is normal for the

 

 

internal fan to cycle on and off

 

 

during routine operation.
