Please take care to avoid losing any important data and backup your data to prevent any such data loss.Precautions for Operating System SupportIf 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.About the Product Capacity Representation StandardAbout HDD Capacity RepresentationThe 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.
7Chapter 1. Getting StartedAbout Memory Capacity RepresentationThe 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.Before You Start

77Chapter 2. Using the computerWired Network3 Click Confi gure > Power Management tab. Select Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby, then click OK. Restart the system.- If the system wakes up from Sleep mode even though there is no received signal, use the system after disabling the <Wake On LAN> function.- The LAN LED may not be turned off if System is shoutdown without disabling the WOL (Wake on LAN) option.- Connecting a wired LAN while using a wireless LAN may not activate the <Wake On LAN> function. Set the Wireless LAN to Disable to use the <Wake On LAN> function.- <Wake On LAN> feature may not work while using Hybrid power saving feature. For Win7, Wake On LAN is not supported by Ping.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.
