Precautions for Operating System Support

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 dierence 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.

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.

Before You Start

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.

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 t

external impact may cause loss of data on the surface of the disk.

Take extra care, because moving the computer or an impact t

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 data on the hard disk t

drive.

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 t

disk while disassembling or assembling the computer.

The data may be lost when the computer is turned o or reset t

by a power failure while the hard disk drive is operating.

The data may be lost and irrecoverable due to a computer virus t

infection.

The data may be lost if the power is turned o while running a t

program.

Moving or causing an impact to the computer while the hard t

disk drive is operating, may cause les 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.

<Wake On LAN> function. Set the Wireless LAN

When 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. This happens because when the computer exits standby/hibernate mode, restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the network is restored, it operates at 100Mbps/1Gbps.

When system is running on battery, some time it takes about 20sec after inserting LAN cable to be able to connect to internet. This symptom happen as a result of power saving feature to reduce battery consumption.

When system is running on battery, the Wired LAN speed is decreased automatically to reduce battery consumption. In such case, a 1Gbps /100Mbps LAN would function at 100Mbps/10Mbps speed.

For Win7, Wake On LAN is not supported by Ping.
