20 A Tour of Your Computer
Left Side View
SECURITY CABLE SLOT — Lets you attach a commercially available antitheft device to the computer. For more
information, see "Security Cable Lock" on page 85. Also, see the instructions included with the device.
NOTICE: Before you buy an antitheft device, ensure that it will work with the security cable slot.
AIR VENT — The computer uses fan(s) to create airflow through the vent(s), 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
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.

optional floppy drive directly to a USB connector using the optional floppy-drive cable

more information, see "Optical Drive" on page 133.
