NOTE: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of clearance on the left side of the 
computer. The computer uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is controlled by a temperature sensor and 
is designed to turn on automatically when high temperature conditions exist. These conditions are aected by 
high external temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery conservation 
congurations, battery fast charging, and software requirements. Exhaust air is displaced through the 
ventilation grill located on the left side of the computer.
