NOTE: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 in) of clearance on the left side

temperature sensor and is designed to turn on automatically when high temperature conditions exist.
These conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system power consumption, power
management/battery conservation configurations, battery fast charging, and software requirements.
