Vent and Security Cable Slot
Component | Description | |
|
|
|
1 | Exhaust vent* | Provides 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 a printer, |
|
| or a soft surface, such as pillows |
|
| or thick rugs or clothing, to block |
|
| the airflow. |
|
| ✎ 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. |
|
|
|
2 | Security cable slot | Attaches an optional security cable to |
|
| the computer. |
✎ The security cable is designed to act as a deterrent, but may not prevent the computer from being mishandled or stolen.
*The computer has 4 vents. This and all other vents are visible on the bottom of the computer. One vent is also visible on the rear of the computer.
