Getting Started Setting up your computer 47 To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure the air intake on the cooling fan is not blocked. The fan draws in air by creating a vacuum. If the fan is blocked, it could cause the CPU to run at a lower performance level or cause the computer to shut down. Loose items such as notebook and tissue paper, plastic wrappers, or other similar materials can block the air intake, preventing air from reaching the CPU. Do not use the computer on surfaces with objects that can be drawn in by the cooling fan. NOTE The cooling fan location will vary depending on the computer. Setting up your computer TECHNICAL NOTE: You must complete all set up steps up to "Setting up your software" on page 62 before adding external or internal components to your computer.
