Connect USB devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, or printer. You can also connect

AIR

VENT

The computer uses fans to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer

from overheating.

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.
