Hardware maintenance

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your

computer:

■ Always disconnect the computer from the AC outlet and disconnect

peripherals from the computer before attempting to clean the

computer or any of its components.

■ Do not spray liquids on the computer keyboard, display, or drives,

or allow liquids to drip onto them.

WARNING: To avoid potential discomfort or burns, do not block the

air vents or use the computer on your lap for extended periods. The

computer is designed to run demanding applications at full power. As a

result of increased power consumption, it is normal for the computer to

feel warm or hot when used continuously. The computer complies with

the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the

International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment

(IEC 60950).

CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct vents. Use the

computer only on a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard

surface, such as a printer, or a soft surface, such as pillows, thick rugs,

or clothing, to block the airflow.
