completely before turning it on again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it back
on, contact your network administrator. If your computer still
does not operate, refer to

Important information about your CPU cooling fan
The round cooling fan on the underside of your computer
keeps the central processing unit at a temperature suitable for
optimum performance by drawing outside air into the
computer.
To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure the
cooling fan's air intake is not blocked. The fan draws in air by
creating a vacuum. If the fan is blocked, it could cause the
CPU to run at a lower performance level or cause the computer
to shut down. Loose items such as notebook and tissue paper,
plastic wrappers, or other similar materials can block the air
intake, preventing air from reaching the CPU. Do not use the
computer on surfaces with objects that can be drawn in by the
cooling fan.
