Docking Connector and Vents

Underside: Docking Connector and Vent

1

Docking connector*

Connects the notebook to an optional
port replicator.

2

Vents (3)

Allow airflow to cool internal
components.

To prevent overheating, use
the notebook only on hard
surfaces which cannot
obstruct the vents. Do now
allow a soft surface, such as
bedding, clothing or a thick
rug, to block airflow.

*As shipped, the docking connector is not visible. The docking connector is
beneath the docking connector cover, which protects the connector when
the connector is not in use.
