Component Description

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 an
adjoining optional printer, or a
soft surface, such as pillows or
thick rugs or clothing, to block
airflow.

components and prevent
overheating. It is normal for the
internal fan to cycle on and off
during routine operation.
