NOTICE: To avoid data loss, never turn off the computer while the green light labeled is
flashing.
Air Intake
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 fans work with the air intakes to prevent the computer from overheating. When the computer gets
hot, the small internal fans turn on and draw air through the air intakes to cool the computer. Hot air
is expelled through the fan exhausts.
CAUTION: Do not push objects into or block the air intakes. Doing so can cause fire
or damage the interior components. Keep the openings free from dust and other
foreign particles.
