Ventilation Holes

Warning: For better ventilation of heat generated and gathered inside the system unit,

you are advised not to block the ventilation holes. For notebook with
ventilation holes on the system chassis, please avoid putting system unit on

the system unit which in turn would deteriorate the overall performance of
the system’s ventilation.
