electrical fan for ventilation. The fan is controlled by a temperature
sensor and is designed to turn on automatically when high temperature
conditions exist. These conditions are affected by high external
temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery
conservation configurations, battery fast charging, and software
applications. Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located
on the right side of the computer.
