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)

Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
Q. What is a Recovery Area?
A. – Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover computers or save backup les. (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.
Q. The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is different from the product
specications.
A. - 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
specications.
- 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 tted 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 specic countries are listed in the specic country sections (or country
group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualied for use in the countries identied 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 eld 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:
28
Page 29
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 Wi) 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 ammable 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. Modication to a wireless device will void the
