Component Description
1 Security cable slot Attaches an optional security cable 
to the computer.
Ä
The security cable is designed 
to act as a deterrent, but may 
not prevent the computer from 
being mishandled or stolen.
2 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
3 RJ-11 (modem) jack Connects a modem cable.
*Depending on computer model, vents vary in number and location.
