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. Instruction / Safety Information 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.

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. Setup and Upgrade The memory replacement is not covered in the warranty and may incur service charges. To upgrade the machine, turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and the battery. • Disconnect the telephone line if linked to the modem. An electric shock or fire may occur. Supported Memory • PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMM • 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. 1 Rated Capacity: PC3-8500S(1066 MHz), 10600S(1333 MHz) or 12800S(1600 MHz) DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMM 2 Type: 1 GB(1024 MB), 2 GB(2048 MB), 4 GB(4096 MB), 8 GB(8192 MB) Replacing the Memory Mainboard configuration, memory slot, and memory type may differ by model.
