Important information on your computer's cooling fan

Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the
CPU by drawing outside air into the computer. The cooling
fan may be located on the bottom of the computer.
NOTE
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have
adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating when
the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to
a power outlet (even if your computer is in Standby mode). In
this condition, observe the following:
❖
Never cover your PC or AC adaptor with any object.
❖
Never place your PC or AC adaptor near a heat
source, such as an electric blanket or heater.
❖
Never block the air vents.
❖
Always operate your PC on a hard surface. Using
your PC on a carpet or other soft material can block
the vents.
Overheating your PC or AC adaptor could cause system
failure, PC or AC adaptor damage, or a fire, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
The cooling fan location will vary depending on the computer.
