FAN
— The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer
from overheating.
NOTE:
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.
CAUTION:
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.
