SLOT
—
Lets you attach a commercially available antitheft device
to the computer. For more information, see "Security Cable Lock" on page 105.
AIR
VENT
—
The computer uses fan(s) to create airflow through the vent(s), 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. The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. Fan noise
is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fan or the computer.
