Placing Your Laptop
WARNING: Do not place the laptop near or over a radiator or heating vent. If your laptop
is placed in a cabinet, ensure that adequate ventilation is provided. Do not place the
laptop in a humid location or in any area where the laptop may be exposed to rain or
water. Be careful not to spill liquid of any kind on or into the laptop.
When placing your laptop, ensure that:
• It is placed on a surface that is both level and stable.
• The power and other cable connectors are not jammed between the laptop and a wall –
or any other object.
• Nothing obstructs airflow in front of, behind, or below the laptop.
• The laptop has enough room so that optical drives and other external storage drives can
be easily accessed.
