Air Intake

HINT: The computer turns on the fans only when the computer gets hot. They may run most of

the time or very seldom, depending on your use of the computer. Because the fans spin at a

high rate of speed, they may make a noise. This noise is normal and does not indicate a

problem with the fans or the computer.

The fans work with the air intakes to prevent the computer from overheating. When the computer gets

hot, the small internal fans turn on and draw air through the air intakes to cool the computer. Hot air

is expelled through the fan exhausts.

CAUTION: Do not push objects into or block the air intakes. Doing so can cause fire

or damage the interior components. Keep the openings free from dust and other

foreign particles.
