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 the Product Capacity Representation Standard

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.

Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The RF field strength of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook are well below all international RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting. (This Statement is not applicable to UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC) such as PDA, Portable PC.)

This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except the installed Bluetooth transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are on the following page:

• Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane.
  802.11B (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
• In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
• Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.
• If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully assembled.
• Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturer for service.
• Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

This mode is appropriate for normal conditions. It maximizes the system performance when the computer is running on AC power while maximizing the battery usage time when the computer is running on battery power.

Multimedia

This mode is appropriate for a multimedia environment that requires maximum system performance. Therefore, the battery usage time may be reduced in this mode.

Note

Using the Easy Battery Manager power options

To use the Easy Battery Manager power options after reinstalling Windows, you have to install the Easy Battery Manager manually using the system software media.

Since power options in Easy Battery Manager aim at maximizing the battery usage time, programs requiring high performance may slow down when using the battery.

In this case, it is recommended connecting the AC adapter or selecting Power Saver.

Using the Battery Calibration Function

When charging/discharging the battery repeatedly for a short time only, the battery usage time may be reduced by the difference between the actual battery charge and the remaining charge display.

In this case, the actual battery charge and the remaining charge display will be the same by discharging the battery completely using the Battery Calibration function, and then recharging it again.

Using Samsung Recovery Solution

Not only can you use Samsung Recovery Solution when Windows is running, but also when you are unable to boot up into Windows. Let's learn how to use Samsung Recovery Solution.

Initial Status Backup

If you turn your computer on for the first time, the Initial Status Backup function is performed after registering Windows. This function saves an image of the Initial Status of the C drive to a secure location so that users can restore the computer to the Initial Status using the Complete Restore function. An Initial Status Backup is only performed once immediately after the computer is purchased.

1 If you turn the power on for the first time, the Register Windows screen appears. If you register Windows according to the instructions on the screen, the computer will be restarted.

2 When the computer has been restarted, the User Registration Complete message appears. Click OK. The computer will restart.

3 The Initial Status Backup screen appears. To resize the C and D drives, click Advanced and partition the disk accordingly. Adjust the partition size using the slide bar and then click Next.

The partition disk function is only available when the computer is turned on for the first time and will not be available afterwards. Once you have completed the partitions, you cannot resize the partitions. Therefore partition the disk carefully.

4 The Initial Status Backup is performed to backup the initial status of the C drive to a secure location. This backup image is used for the Complete Restore function that restores your computer to the initial status when the computer is not working properly.

5 When the Initial Status Backup is complete, restart Windows.

Quick Restore

Quick Restore enables you to easily restore your computer to a previous, normal state when a problem occurs with your computer. Quick Restore provides Basic Restore and Complete Restore (Computer Initial Status Restore) options.

1 – When Windows is running:

Click Start > All Programs > Samsung > Samsung Recovery Solution > Samsung Recovery Solution.

- When Windows does not start:

Turn the computer on and press the F4 key when the boot screen (SAMSUNG logo) appears. After a moment, the computer boots up in Restoration mode and the Samsung Recovery Solution screen appears.

The touch screen function is not supported in this mode even if your model supports a touch screen. In this mode, please use the touchpad or mouse instead of the touch screen.

2 If the Samsung Recovery Solution program is launched for the first time after purchasing the computer, the license agreement screen appears before the restoration is started. Read the agreement and click Agree to continue.

3 If the initial menu screen appears, click Restore.

If you click Select by Symptom, the Select by Symptom menu appears. If you select a symptom, a recommended restoration option will blink. Click the restoration option to continue.

4 Select either Basic Restore or Complete Restore from the Restore menu.

- ABasic Restore restores the major Windows files only while maintaining the user configuration and data on the C drive in a short time.

● A Complete Restore deletes the entire C drive and then restores the contents of the C drive.

Run Complete Restore if the computer does not work even after Basic Restore has been completed.

4-1 If you have selected Basic Restore:

In the Basic Restore screen, click the Next button. The system will be restarted.

4-2 If you have selected Complete Restore:

In the restoration point selection screen, select the restoration point described as 'Computer Initial Status' and click the Next button. The system will be restarted.

Since a Complete Restore deletes all user data as well as additionally installed programs, please backup your important data first using the Data Backup function, before running Complete Restore.

5 The computer boots up into restoration mode and the restoration progress message appears. If you click OK, the restoration begins. The restoration may take some time, please wait for a moment.

6 When the 'Restart the System' message appears after the restoration is complete, click OK to restart the system.

Make sure that the power cord is connected while the restoration is in process. The first time the computer boots up after a Complete Restore has been performed, the speed of the boot process may be slowed down due to the system optimization process. At this time, do not shut the computer down by force.

User Complete Backup/Restore

A Complete Backup saves the complete image of the C drive onto another drive or DVD. A Complete Restore restores the image file saved by the Complete Backup onto the C drive. This guide describes the Complete Backup and Complete Restore procedures on the basis of backing up and restoring by using DVD.

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

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 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.

I 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.

- Click McAfee SecurityCenter > Advanced menu > Configure > Internet and Network > Advanced > Trusted and Banned IPs, and register the IP address or IP address range as a Trusted IP address.

During the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation, the AP (Access Point) is intermittently not found.

A This problem occurs intermittently during the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation. Even if this problem occurs, the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation is working properly and is not affected. Click Refresh to update the AP list.

I have set the same IP address for both the wireless and wired connections, but they do not work properly.

A You cannot use wireless and wired connections using the same IP address. To sequentially use both the wired and wireless connections with the same IP address, you need to set the currently not needed connection to Do Not Use in the Network Connections of the Control Panel.

The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the product.

A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a microwave oven is being used. If you experience channel interference from other equipment, we recommended changing the channel for connecting to the AP. For more information about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP manufacturer.
A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded.

Backup

A way to save the current data to restore it later if necessary. A backup is a way to restore computer data when the data or computer is damaged.

Client

This refers to a computer that uses a shared network resource provided by a server.

DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)

DRAM is a memory type whose cells consist of a capacitor and transistor manufactured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by synchronizing the clock with the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by doubling the operating speed of the SDRAM and is widely used nowadays. This computer uses DDR SDRAM.

Device Manager

An administrative tool used to manage computer devices. You can add or remove hardware or update a device driver using the Device Manager.

Direct X

An application interface developed to enable Windows application programs to access hardware devices at a very high speed. Since the operating speed of graphics, memory and sound cards must be very fast to provide high quality video and sound for games, Direct X enables faster control and interaction between applications and hardware devices. By using Direct X, the multimedia performance of Windows has been hugely improved.

Driver

Software that interacts between the hardware and the operating system. An operating system knows the hardware information and controls the hardware. In general, a driver is supplied with the corresponding hardware device.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)

DVD was developed to replace CD (compact disk). Although the shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and supports MPEG2 compression and digital audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is required.

Firewall

A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication procedure.

Hibernation Mode

A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state.

Icon

This refers to a small image that represents a file that users can use.

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.

Notification Area

This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time.

Power Schemes

This refers to a pre-determined power management option group. For example, you can set the time the computer waits before entering Standby Mode, or before the monitor or hard drive turns off. The settings are saved as a power scheme.

Quick Launch

This refers to a toolbar that can be configured so that you can launch a program such as Internet Explorer or display the Windows Desktop with one click. You can add any icon to the quick launch area of the Taskbar and launch frequently used program by clicking that icon.

Server

In general, a server refers to a computer that provides shared resources for network users.

Share

This refers to setting a resource of a computer such as a folder or printer so that other users can also use it.

Shared Folder

A folder that can be used by other users on the network. Network Administrator

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 (480Mpbs) 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.
