Provides airflow to cool internal
components.
Ä
To prevent overheating, do not
obstruct vents. Use the computer
only on a hard, flat surface. Do not
allow another hard surface, such
as a printer, or a soft surface, such
as pillows or thick rugs or clothing,
to block the airflow.

The computer fan starts up
automatically to cool internal
components and prevent
overheating. It is normal for the
internal fan to cycle on and off
during routine operation.
Attaches an optional security cable to the
computer.

The security cable is designed to
act as a deterrent, but may not
prevent the computer from being
mishandled or stolen.
