A Tour of Your Computer 23
The green lights located above the keyboard indicate the following:
Left Side View
AIR VENTS The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which
prevents the computer from overheating.
NOTE: The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. 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 Dell™ 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.
