Precautions for Operating System Support

If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a previous version of a OS pre-installed on this computer, or a software that does not support the OS, 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.

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.

Before You Start

Chapter 1. Getting Started

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)

For more information, refer to the Samsung Recovery Solution section.

Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)

What is a Recovery Area?

Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover • computers or save backup files.

(Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.)

This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery image that comprises of the OS and application programs.

You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution • icon on the desktop or press F4 while booting the computer

to enter the Recovery Area. Then you can back up the present computer state or recover the computer from backed up images.

For deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional • Recovery Area Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area, you can use the newly created partition for other uses, such as for saving personal data. Be careful that once the recovery area is deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.

The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is different from the product specifications.

The capacity of the storage device (HDD) 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.

This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does not mean the installed HDD is different from the product specifications.

The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because some programs occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.

For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity • representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because Samsung Recovery Solution uses a hidden area of about 5\~20GB of the HDD to save the recovery image, and that hidden area is not counted towards the total size available to Windows.

The size of Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because of the different size of applied programs.

Wireless Guidance

(If fitted with 2.4G band or 5G band)

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4GHz/5GHz 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.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed on the next 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.

802.11ABGN (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.

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.

D-sub (D-subminiature)

This is the cable connecting a general CRT monitor and the computer. Analog video is output through this cable.

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.

HDMI

This is a digital video / audio interface specification that transmits video and audio signals over a single cable.

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.

IEEE802.XX

This is a set fo specifications developed by the 802 committee of IEEE for the LAN connection method called XX.

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.

MMC (MultiMedia Card) card

This is an external-type flash memory used for mobile devices such as mobile phones or digital cameras.

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.

Network Administrator

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

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.

Partition

This refers to the act or practice of dividing the storage space of a hard disk drive into separate data areas known as partitions. If a 100GB hard disk drive is partitioned into 2 x 50GB partitions, the hard disk drive can be used as if there are 2 hard disk drives.

PCMCIA( Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) card

This is an extended card slot specification for mobile computers such as a notebook computer. Not only a memory, device but also most peripherals such as hard disk drives, LAN cards, etc. can be connected to this card slot.

Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules used by computers to communicate with each other across a network. A protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between computing endpoints. It defines the data transmission procedures and the transmission medium for more efficient network functions.

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.

SD (Secure Digital) card

An SD card is a flash (non-volatile) memory card developed for mobile devices by improving on the MMC card. Although an MMC card can be used in an SD card slot, an SD card is not recognized when inserted into an MMC card.

SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card

This is the extension of the SD card that supports over 2GB bytes.

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.

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 turned 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.

TCP/IPv4

This is a 4 byte (32 bit) address system separated into each byte (8 bits) by a dot and each byte is represented as a decimal number.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2.

The data transmission specifications are one of the interface standards used to connect a computer to peripheral devices. These specifications include USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0.

It is appropriate to support peripheral devices that require high data rates such as an AV device, secondary HDD or CD-RW. The higher the version (e.g. USB 3.0), the higher the data rate provided.
