— The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the
vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.
NOTE:
The fan may run constantly, and fan speed may vary depending on usage.
Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fan or the computer.
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.
