Component Description

1 Security cable slot Attaches an optional security cable to the

computer.

The security cable is designed to act as a deterrent, but may

not prevent the computer from being mishandled or stolen.

2 Vent Enables airflow to cool internal

components.

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, thick rugs, or clothing to block airflow.

✎

The computer fan starts up automatically to cool internal

components and prevent overheating. It is normal for the internal

fan to cycle on and off during routine operation.

3 Wireless button

(select models only)*

Turns the wireless feature on or off, but

does not establish a connection.

✎

To establish a wireless connection, a wireless network must

already be set up.

4 USB port Connects an optional USB device.
