What are the operating guidelines to prevent overheating the computer?
Keep the computer on a sturdy, level surface and leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all vented sides and above the monitor to permit required airflow. Never restrict airflow by blocking any vents or air intakes, and never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed. You should also occasionally clean the air vents and keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard. (Page 14)
