SECURITY

CABLE

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.
