Product capacity representation
Storage 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.
For example, 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 may reside in a
hidden area of the HDD.
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. For example,
for 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the
capacity as 1,022MB or less.
Caution for the data
Samsung Electronics shall not be liable for any data loss. Please
take care to avoid losing any important data and back up your
data to prevent any such data loss.
Operating system and software
support
If you change the product’s factory OS (Operating System) to
another OS or if you install software which is not supported by the
product’s original factory OS, you will not receive any technical
support, product exchange or refund, and a fee will be charged
when requesting a service.
Please use your computer with the original factory OS. If you
install an OS other than the factory OS, data may be deleted or the
computer may not start.
Recommended screen resolutions
The recommended screen resolution for Windows 8 is “FHD”
(1,920x1,080) and for Windows 8.1 is “QHD+” (3,200x1,800).
If you set the resolution higher than the recommended value, it
may result in problems with some applications, due to limitations
of the operating system.

Why is the capacity representation of the hard disk
drive (HDD) in Windows different from the product
specifications?
The capacity of the storage device (HDD or 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. The capacity representation in Windows may
be smaller than the actual capacity because some applications
occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.
For models with the
Recovery
application, the HDD capacity
representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual
capacity because the
Recovery
application uses a hidden area of
5-20 GB 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 the
Recovery
application varies by model.

What is a recovery image?
This refers to specifications about the operating system, drivers,
and software that are converted to a data image. It is required
to recover the computer and is embedded in the computer’s
HDD. However, this is not provided for storage devices where the
capacity is less than 64 GB, due to their small capacities.
How can I recover a computer that does not have the

used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce
the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile
Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users
of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar
stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device.
Appendix
130
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the
human body expressed in unites of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The
FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the wireless transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
