Cooling vent
USB ports
The cooling vent prevents the computer's central processing
unit (CPU) from overheating so that it can continue to
perform at its maximum speed.
CAUTION: To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure
you don't block the cooling vents.
The DC IN is where you plug in the AC adapter for either
operating the computer on external power or charging the
battery.
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports allow you to connect
USB peripherals to your computer.
DEFINITION: USB is a peripheral expansion standard that
supports a data-transfer rate of up to 12 Mbps for peripherals such
