System Protection Feature
If the system becomes too hot, the system protection feature automatically switches to
power-off.
The system may not be reactivated until it cools down enough.
Information on Hard Drive / Memory Capacity
Hard Drive Capacity
The hard drive capacity shown by Windows is lower than that stated by the hard drive
manufacturer due to a difference in calculation.
ENGLISH
Instruction / Safety Information 7
Manufacturer Hard drive manufacturers use a decimal definition of 1 KB = 1,000
Bytes.
100 GB: 100,000 MB / 1,000 Bytes = 100 GB
Windows Windows use the binary definition of 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes.
100 GB: 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.
Function of a 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 part.
CAUTION
•Please visit the LG Electronics Service Center to exchange the CMOS backup
battery.
•The computer may be damaged if an incompatible battery is used.
•The product warranty is not applied to failure or breakdown caused by willful
damage by the user.

Replacing the Memory
You may need to replace the PC memory for better performance.
For memory replacement, we recommend that you receive a paid service from a
service center certified by LG Electronics. LG Electronics disclaims any
responsibility for damage resulting from uncertified service or arbitrary disassembly.
About Memory
This system uses a 204-pin, SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module)-type
DDR3L(DDR3 Low-Voltage) SDRAM.
The maximum capacity of the main board is 8 GB (8,192 MB).
Memory of 3 GB or more is supported only in a 64-bit O/S.
The memory capacity actually supported may differ depending on the model.
TIP
•When replacing the memory, add a memory with the same specification (1.35 V
DDR3L SDRAM).
•This product supports only DDR3L memory and using the DDR3 memory module
may cause the malfunction of the PC.
•The DDR3L memory provides greatly improved power consumption rate than the
existing DDR3 memory, and it has the same shape as the DDR3 memory.
For purchasing and replacing the memory, ensure it is DDR3L.
ENGLISH

•PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMM
•PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMM
•Supported memory types are different depending on the model. Make sure to check
the memory type when you purchase memory.
•The operating speed of the memory depends on the maximum speed supported by
the internal memory controller (IMC) inside the CPU.
(E.g.) If the maximum speed supported by IMC is 1333 MHz, the PC3–12800
(1600 MHz) memory runs at 1333 MHz.
Preparing Memory
Before purchasing memory, study the specifications and features of the current memory.
