Fan and heat sink assembly, for use with dual-core models (includes replacement thermal material) 627790–001
NOTE: To properly ventilate the device, allow at least a 7.6-cm (3-inch) clearance on the left side of
the device. The device uses an electric 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 requirements.
Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of the device.

1. Shut down the device. If you are unsure whether the device is off or in Hibernation, turn the
device on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
