A Tour of Your Computer : Dell Inspiron 2100
HINT:
The computer turns on the fan only when the computer gets hot. It may run most of the
time or very seldom, depending on your use of the computer. Because the fan spins at a high
rate of speed, it may make a noise. This noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with
the fan or the computer.
The fan works with the air intakes to prevent the computer from overheating. When the computer
gets hot, the small internal fan turns on and draws air through the air intakes to cool the computer.
Hot air is expelled through the fan exhausts.
CAUTION:
Do not push objects into or block the fan exhaust. Doing so can cause fire
or damage the interior components. Keep the opening free from dust and other
foreign particles.
