Thermal

The vent hole of the POC-S199 series rear cover functions as a cooling air flow inlet
and outlet. These air inlets and outlets transfer heat from inside the computer to the
cooler air outside. Do not block these holes/vents with any soft material.
When using your POC-S199 series system, it is normal for the rear metal heatsink to
get warm. The rear metal heatsink of the POC-S199 series functions as a cooling
surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. Do not
block this heatsink with any soft material.
Warning! Do not place your POC-S199 series system on a pillow or other soft
material when it is on, as the material may block the airflow and cause
the computer to overheat.
