Heat Considerations
The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume
little power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot
environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature.
Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:
21. The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You
may feel air coming from a vent at the left side
when this happens.
22. If the temperature continues to rise,
processor activity will be reduced. You
may notice a slight loss of performance
when this happens.
Warning:If the operating temperature exceeds 35 oC,
the system will shut down to prevent the
heat from damaging the computer’s
infrastructure. When the computer cools to
a normal temperature you can restart the
system. The higher the temperature of the
environment, the longer the period the
computer will need to cool down.
