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.
PC C
ARD SLOT — Supports one PC Card, such as a modem or network adapter. The computer ships with
a plastic blank installed in the slot. For more information, see the Dell Inspiron help file. To access the help
file, see"Accessing Help" on page 65.
