an electrical outlet. See page 36.
DOCKING DEVICE SLOT — Lets you attach your computer to a docking device. See the documentation
that came with your docking device for additional information.
FAN — 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 store your 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.
