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 Dell™ 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.
