To prevent overheating, do not

allow another hard surface, such as
an adjoining optional printer, or a soft
surface, such as pillows or 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.
