To prevent overheating, do not
obstruct vents. Use the computer
only on a hard, flat surface. Do not
allow another hard surface, such as
an adjoining optional printer, or a soft
surface, such as pillows or thick rugs
or clothing, to block airflow.

automatically to cool internal
components and prevent
overheating. It is normal for the
internal fan to cycle on and off during
routine operation.
