The HID-2232 is a fanless design system, heat is dispatch through rear metal
heatsink which is located at VESA mount area.. When using your HID-2232 systems,
it is normal for the metal heatsink to get warm. The rear metal heatsink of the
HID-2232 functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the computer
to the cooler air outside. Do not block this heatsink by any soft material.
Disconnect the power
The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the adapter power cord.
Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so that you can
unplug the computer when you need to.
Warning! Your AC cord came equipped with a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that
has a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. If
you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet is not
grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug.
Warning! Never push objects of any kind into this product through the openings in the
case. Doing so may be dangerous and result in fire or a dangerous
electric shock.
