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.
