Component Description
1 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 an 
adjoining optional printer, or a 
soft surface, such as pillows or 
thick rugs or clothing, to block 
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.
