A Tour of Your Computer: Dell Inspiron 4100
Air Vent
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 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. Doing so can damage the computer or cause a fire.
