Air Vents

The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.
The Air Vents are part of the QuadCool thermal management system. They provide external venting of internal heat via the
enhanced convection cooling system.
CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Do not store
your computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting
the airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire.
NOTE: This computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a
problem with the fan or the computer.
