Component Description

to the computer.

The security cable is designed
to act as a deterrent, but may

To prevent overheating, do
not obstruct vents. Use the

hard surface, such as an
adjoining optional printer, or a
soft surface, such as pillows or
thick rugs or clothing, to block
airflow.

automatically to cool internal
components and prevent
overheating. It is normal for the
internal fan to cycle on and off
during routine operation
