F AN AIR
V E N T S
— The computer uses an internal fan to create
airflow
through the fan air vents, which prevents
the
computer from
over
heating.
NOTE:
The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. 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.
