Getting Started
Removing a memory module
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have
adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating
when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is
connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in
Sleep mode). In this condition, observe the following:
❖
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with
any object.
❖
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a
heat source, such as an electric blanket or heater.
❖
Never cover or block the air vents including those
located at the underside of the computer.
❖
Always operate your computer on a hard flat
surface. Using your computer on a carpet or other
soft material can block the vents located at the
underside of the computer.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause
system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
