System Protection Feature

If the system becomes too hot, the system protection feature automatically stops recharging and switches the power mode to Hibernate or Off.

The PC system may not be reactivated until it cools down enough.

Information on Hard Drive / Memory Capacity

Information on Hard Drive (HDD, SSD, eMMC) Capacity

The hard drive capacity shown by Windows is lower than that stated by the hard drive manufacturer due to a difference in calculation.

Manufacturer	Hard drive manufacturers use a decimal definition of 1 KB = 1,000
	Bytes.
	100 GB Storage Device (HDD, SSD, eMMC): 100,000 MB /
	1,000 Bytes = 100 GB
Windows	Windows use the binary definition of 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes.
	100 GB Storage Device (HDD, SSD, eMMC): 100,000 MB /
	1,024 Bytes = 97.6 GB

RAM Capacity

RAM capacity shown by Windows may be lower than the actual capacity because the PC uses shared memory for BIOS and the integrated graphics card.

Due to BIOS using shared memory, 1,024 MB RAM may be reported as 1,022 MB or slightly less.

If the PC has integrated graphics card, 1,024 MB RAM may be reported as 1,022 MB or less than 1,000 MB.

Tips / Important Safety Precautions

CMOS Backup Battery

The CMOS backup battery of the main board ensures that the system setup (BIOS) does not disappear even if the power is disconnected.

The CMOS backup battery is an expendable component.

CAUTION
