NOTE: The thermal material must be thoroughly cleaned from the surfaces of the heat sink (1), (2),
(3), and (4) and the system board (5), (6), (7), and (8), each time the heat sink is removed.
Replacement thermal material is included with all heat sink and system board spare part kits.

NOTE: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 7.6 cm (3 in) 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
affected by high external temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery
conservation configurations, battery fast charging, and software requirements. Exhaust air is
displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of the computer.
