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)

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss
(Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the
data on a hard disk drive.
■ A hard disk drive is so sensitive
to external impact that an
external impact may cause loss
of data on the surface of the
disk.
■ Take extra care, because
moving the computer or an
impact on the computer when
it is turned on may damage the
data of the hard disk drive.
■ The company is not liable for
any loss of any data caused by
a customer's careless usage or
bad environmental conditions.
Causes that may damage the
data of a hard disk drive and the
hard disk drive itself.
■ The data may be lost when an
external impact is applied to
the disk while disassembling or
assembling the computer.
■ The data may be lost when the
computer is turned off or reset
by a power failure while the
hard disk drive is operating.
■ The data may be lost and
irrecoverable due to a computer
virus infection.
■ The data may be lost if the
power is turned off while
running a program.
■ Moving or causing an impact
to the computer while the hard
disk drive is operating, may
cause files to be corrupted or
bad sectors on the hard disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, please
backup your data frequently.
17

Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz
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 specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country
group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified 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 field 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. (This Statement is not applicable to UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC)
such as PDA, Portable PC.)
This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except the installed
Bluetooth transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are on the following page:
25

require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane.
802.11B (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) 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 flammable 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. Modification to a wireless device will void the

201
A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption
key) has been entered for both the AP and the
computer. The network key is an encryption key for
encrypting the data transmitted between the AP and
the computer. It is recommended setting the network
key manually.
A6 Check the network key settings (encryption
key) again. When automatic code conversion (a
passphrase function) has been selected and data
communication is not functioning even with a normal
wireless connection, it is recommended entering the
network key (encryption key) manually.
► Check the AP Settings
A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is
recommended for a standard environment and thus
may differ according to the specific wireless network
environment.)
For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided
by the AP manufacturer.
A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using
a wireless LAN. The use of a wireless LAN may be
restricted according to the environment and distance.
Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of
a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high and open
space, 50cm from the wall and far removed from any
other radio signal sources.
A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.
● When the AP is not operating normally, turn off
the AP, wait a short while, and turn it on again.
● Verify whether the AP’s firmware is the most
recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or
the place where you purchased the AP for details
of the AP firmware.)
● When several APs are present simultaneously,
check the channel settings for each AP. When
different APs are using nearby channels,
interference may occur between the electronic
waves. Set the AP channels further apart from
each other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)
● When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set
to “Hide”, you cannot search for that AP on the
computer. We recommend unselecting the “Hide”
option for the AP. The SSID is a name used for
distinguishing one wireless LAN from another
wireless LAN.
● It is recommended using Long Preamble.
Preamble is a signal for data transmission
synchronization. Short Preamble may be
supported by some types of APs but may cause
compatibility problems.
A5 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected
to the network. Verify whether the network is
operating normally by connecting the wired network
cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your
computer.
● It is recommended using a static IP.
● Since static channel selection is more reliable
than auto channel selection, it is recommended
using a static channel.

Q
I cannot connect to a computer connected to the
Ad-Hoc network.
Q
During the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation,
the AP (Access Point) is intermittently not found.
A1 Check the security settings and network name of the
wireless Ad-Hoc network.
A2 Check the TCP/IP settings of the computers
connected to the wireless Ad-Hoc network. The IP
addresses of the computers to be connected to a
wireless Ad-Hoc network must be set to the same
sub-network address.
● For example, if the TCP/IP setting is configured
to a fixed IP address, select Use the following IP
address in the TCP/IP Properties of the wireless
adapter, configure the items as follows and try
again.
A This problem occurs intermittently during the wireless
Ad-Hoc network operation. Even if this problem
occurs, the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation is
working properly and is not affected. Click Refresh to
update the AP list.
Q
I have set the same IP address for both the
wireless and wired connections, but they do not
work properly.
A You cannot use wireless and wired connections
using the same IP address. To sequentially use
both the wired and wireless connections with the
same IP address, you need to set the currently not
needed connection to Do Not Use in the Network
Connections of the Control Panel.
IP: 10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0.
It is recommended using a fixed IP address for
wireless Ad-Hoc network connections.
A3 You have to register the IP address allocated for
the wireless adapter as a ‘Trusted IP’ in McAfee
SecurityCenter.
● Click McAfee SecurityCenter > Advanced
menu > Configure > Internet and Network
> Advanced > Trusted and Banned IPs, and
register the IP address or IP address range as a

printers and other devices within a local area such as
within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices
to interact with other devices on the network. The
current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control
method developed in the early 1980s. To connect to an
Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet
card or network interface card is required. To exchange
data between computers, a protocol is required besides
the hardware equipment. Windows Vista uses TCP/IP
as the default protocol.
This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including
program icons such as the volume control, the power
options and the time.
Power Schemes
This refers to a pre-determined power management
option group. For example, you can set the time the

rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster than that of USB
1.1. The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of
IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices
supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW
that require a high data rate.
