A IR V E NT S — The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the
vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.
NOTE: The fan runs
constantly, and fan speed
may vary depending on
usage. Fan noise is
normal and does not
indicate a problem with
the fan or the computer.
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.
S E C U RI T Y C A B L E S L O T — Lets you attach a commercially available antitheft
device to the computer. For more information, see the instructions included with
the device.
NOTICE: Before you buy an antitheft device, ensure that it will work with the
security cable slot.
Connect the telephone line to the modem connector.
For information on using the modem, see the online modem
documentation supplied with your computer.
