2 Fan louvers
The internal fan and louvers enable air to circulate in the computer and cool the central processor.
Note: To avoid impeding airflow, do not place any obstacle in front of the fan.
3 USB 3.0 connectors
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) 3.0 connectors are used for connecting devices compatible with a USB
interface, such as a USB printer or a digital camera.
Note: When you attach a USB cable to the connector, make sure that the USB mark is facing upward.
Otherwise the connector might be damaged.

Ethernet connector
Connect your computer to a LAN with the Ethernet connector.
DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector.
You can only connect an Ethernet cable to this connector.
Two indicators, to the upper right and left of the connector, show the status of the network connection.
When your computer connects to a LAN and a session with the network is available, the upper left indicator
is steady green. While data is being transmitted, the upper right indicator blinks yellow.
5 Combo audio connector
To listen to the sound from your computer, connect a headphone or a headset that has a 3.5 mm 4-pole plug
to the combo audio connector.
Notes:
• If you are using a headset with a function switch, for example, a headset for an iPhone mobile digital
device, do not press this switch while using the headset. If you press it, the headset microphone will be
disabled, and the integrated microphones on the computer will be enabled instead.
• The combo audio connector does not support a conventional microphone. For more information, see
“Using audio features” on page 36.
