The Compaq Notebook 100 uses an electrical 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 applications. Exhaust air is displaced through the
ventilation grill located on the right side of the computer.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a
3-inch (7.6 cm) clearance on the left and right sides of the
computer.
