SECURITY CABLE SLOT — Lets you attach a commercially available antitheft device to the computer. For more
information, see "Security Cable Lock" on page 59.
NOTICE: Before you buy an antitheft device, ensure that it will work with the security cable slot.
AIR VENTS — The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer
from overheating.
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.
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.

CONNECTOR — Connects devices supporting IEEE 1394 high-speed transfer rates, such as some digital
video cameras.
