It is different per model but read through your service manual. Basically I would remove the bottom plastics, blow air through the fan and out the rear vent. Good video here.

I have the Cooler Master NotePal X2 Notebook Cooling Pad for my M14X.  I think it's the perfect size for it.  It's a cool looking pad as well.
