Precautions for Operating System Support

The operating system (OS) installed on this product is the latest version of Windows Vista.

Other operating systems (Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 server, UNIX and LINUX, other Windows Vista versions, etc.) other than the operating system already installed on this computer are not supported.

If a problem occurs because of the installation of another operating system, the company will not provide technical support, a replacement or refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a service charge will be applied.

In addition, installing a program that does not support Windows Vista, may cause the program to not work properly. In this case, ask the corresponding software manufacturer about the problem. If you request our services to resolve a problem caused by incompatible software, a service charge will be applied.

About HDD Capacity Representation

The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.

However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation.

(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/

(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)

In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs such as Recovery

Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

About Memory Capacity Representation

The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory.

This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use.

(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB or less)

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss (Hard Disk Management)

Take care not to damage the data on a hard disk drive.

• A hard disk drive is so sensitive to external impact that an external impact may cause loss of data on the surface of the disk.
  ● Take extra care, because moving the computer or an impact on the computer when it is turned on may damage the data of the hard disk drive.
• The company is not liable for any loss of any data caused by a customer's careless usage or bad environmental conditions.

Causes that may damage the data of a hard disk drive and the hard disk drive itself.

● The data may be lost when an external impact is applied to the disk while disassembling or assembling the computer.
● The data may be lost when the computer is turned off or reset by a power failure while the hard disk drive is operating.
● The data may be lost and irrecoverable due to a computer virus infection.
- The data may be lost if the power is turned off while running a program.
- Moving or causing an impact to the computer while the hard disk drive is operating, may cause files to be corrupted or bad sectors on the hard disk.

To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, please backup your data frequently.

① Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections.

② Right-click on the Wireless Network Connections and select Disable.

When I am connected to a 100Mbps/1Gbps wired LAN and the computer exits Sleep/hibernation mode, a message appears informing you of a connection to a 10Mbps/100Mbps wired LAN.

A When the computer exits standby/hibernate mode, restoring the network takes about 3 seconds.

When the network is restored, it operates at 100Mbps/1Gbps.

Wireless Network (WLAN) Related

I cannot find an AP.

A Verify whether the Wireless LAN LED is on. If it is turned off, turn it on by pressing the Wireless LAN On/Off button (Fn + ∫).

The Wireless LAN device is operating properly, but I cannot connect to the Internet or to another computer.

This is due to an incorrect configuration, or a configuration error. Check the following:

A1 When connecting to a wireless Ad-Hoc network, check if the network name (SSID) is the same.
A2 If a network key (encryption key) is used, the AP (Access Point) and wireless Ad-Hoc network keys must be the same.

The AP network key can be configured using an AP management program. For more detailed information, ask your network administrator or product provider.

A3 Check that the device driver is installed properly. If the driver is not properly installed, you will find a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon by clicking Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager > Network Adapter.

The signal strength is excellent, but I cannot connect to the network.

Even if the signal strength is excellent, the network connection may not operate properly if the TCP/IP properties are not properly configured, or the network key (encryption key) is incorrect.

A Check that the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When connecting to an AP, right-click the Network Connections icon on the taskbar and select Network and Sharing Center. If you click the View Status next to a connected wireless network device and then click the Detail button, you can view the IP information. If the IP is not allocated properly, the IP address will be displayed as follows (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx).

If the network does not provide DHCP, you have to specify the correct IP address by asking your network administrator.

Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network.

cannot connect to the AP.

- Check the Computer Settings

A1 Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Windows Mobile Center and check the wireless device status.

• When it is represented as Disconnected This means the computer is not connected to the AP. Check the status of the AP, referring to the descriptions of the Checking the SP Settings section below. Check the encryption key configured in the AP and retry to the connection.
• When it is represented as Connected, but you cannot connect to the Internet

This means the computer is connected to the AP, but the AP or external network connected with the AP may have a problem.

- When the 'There is no wireless LAN adapter' message appears or there is no wireless LAN icon

This means the wireless LAN device is set to Do Not Use or the device is not recognized.

Check if the wireless device is properly recognized in the Device Manager window. If the device is set to Do Not Use, right-click and select Use from the pop-up menu.

A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered for both the AP and the computer. The network key is an encryption key for encrypting the data transmitted between the AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually.

- Check the AP Settings

For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.

A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN. The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high and open space, 50cm from the wall and far removed from any other radio signal sources.
A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.

- When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP, wait a short while, and turn it on again.

- Verify whether the AP's firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP firmware.)

A5 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network. Verify whether the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your computer.
A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key) again. When automatic code conversion (a passphrase function) has been selected and data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually.
A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network environment.)

• When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel settings for each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may occur between the electronic waves. Set the AP channels further apart from each other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)
• When an AP's SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to "Hide", you cannot search for that AP on the computer. We recommend unselecting the "Hide" option for the AP. The SSID is a name used for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another wireless LAN.
• It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs but may cause compatibility problems.
• It is recommended using a static IP.
• Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is recommended using a static channel.

I cannot connect to a computer connected to the Ad-Hoc network.

A1 Check the security settings and network name of the wireless Ad-Hoc network.
A2 Check the TCP/IP settings of the computers connected to the wireless Ad-Hoc network. The IP addresses of the computers to be connected to a wireless Ad-Hoc network must be set to the same sub-network address.

- For example, if the TCP/IP setting is configured to a fixed IP address, select Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP Properties of the wireless adapter, configure the items as follows and try again.

IP: 10.0.0.1\~10.0.0.254, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.

It is recommended using a fixed IP address for wireless Ad-Hoc network connections.

A3 You have to register the IP address allocated for the wireless adapter as a 'Trusted IP' in McAfee SecurityCenter.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A communications network connecting computers, printers and other devices within a local area such as within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the network. The current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control method developed in the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet card or network interface card is required. To exchange data between computers, a protocol is required besides the hardware equipment. Windows Vista uses TCP/IP as the default protocol.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain.

Network

A group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link. A network can be either small or large and can be connected permanently through cables or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless links. The biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network.

A user who plans, configures and manages network operations. Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system administrator.

Sleep Mode

A power mode that enables computers to save power consumption when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the power is tuned off, the data in memory will be lost.

System File

System Files refer to files that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system files must not be deleted or moved.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps (12 million bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a data rate that is 40 times (480Mbps) faster than that of USB 1.1. The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW that require a high data rate.

Windows Media Player

A multimedia program included with Windows. Using this program, you can play a media file, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage media files, and copy files to a portable device, etc.
