HINT: The computer
turns on the fans only
when the computer gets
hot. They may run most of
the time or very seldom,
depending on your use of
the computer. Because the
fans spin at a high rate of
speed, they may make a
noise. This noise is normal
and does not indicate a
problem with the fans or
the computer.
The fans work with the air intakes to prevent the computer from overheating. When the computer gets hot, the small internal fans turn on and draw air through the air intakes to cool the computer. Hot air is expelled through the fan exhausts.
CAUTION: Do not push objects into or block the air intakes. Doing
so can cause fire or damage the interior components. Keep the
openings free from dust and other foreign particles.
The track stick detects the pressure and movement of your finger for moving the cursor on the display and, along with the track stick buttons, provides full mouse functionality.
The slots (one on each side of the computer) let you attach a commercially available antitheft device to the computer. Complete instructions for installing antitheft devices are usually included with the device.
NOTICE: Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before you buy one, make
sure it will work with the security cable slot in the computer.
Use this connector to connect your computer to a television. If you have a TV/digital audio adapter cable, you can also connect composite video cables and S/PDIF devices to this connector.

Use this connector to attach an AC adapter to the computer.
HINT: Although the AC
adapter works worldwide,
power connectors vary
among countries. Before
using the AC adapter in a
foreign country, you may
need to obtain a new
power cable designed for
use with the electrical
outlets in that country.
The AC adapter converts AC power to the DC power required by the computer. You can connect the AC adapter with your computer either turned on or off.
NOTICE: When you disconnect the AC adapter from the computer, grasp the
adapter cable connector, not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid
damaging the cable.
Use this connector to attach a serial device to the computer.
HINT: The port
replicator may not be
available in certain
countries. Refer to the
documentation that came
with your port replicator
for instructions on
attaching external devices
to the port replicator and
connecting your computer
to it.
Use this connector to attach your computer to the optional port replicator. A port replicator allows you to easily use an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor with your computer. An advanced port replicator also includes a network connector for connecting your computer to a network.
