Getting Started
Setting up your computer
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate 
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is 
turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet 
(even if your computer is in Sleep mode). In this condition, observe 
the following:
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any 
object.
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat 
source, such as an electric blanket or heater.
Never block the air vents.
Always operate your computer on a hard surface. 
Using your computer on a carpet or other soft 
material can block the vents.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system 
failure, computer or AC adaptor damage, or a fire, possibly resulting 
in serious injury.
The cooling fan location will vary depending on the computer.
