A Tour of Your Computer 29
BATTERY/BATTERY BAY — When a battery is installed, you can use the
computer without connecting the computer to an electrical outlet. See page 41.
A
IR VENTS — The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the
vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.
NOTE: The fan runs
constantly, and fan speed
may vary depending on
usage. Fan noise is
normal and does not
indicate a problem with
the fan or the computer.
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.

EMORY MODULE COVER — Covers the compartment that contains the
memory module(s) and the CD or DVD drive latch release. See page 100.
