A Tour of Your Computer 17
AIR VENT — The computer uses fans to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer
from overheating.
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.
AUDIO CONNECTORS

some digital video cameras.
