Product capacity representation
Storage capacity representation
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer
is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage
device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes. Therefore, the
available capacity of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the
actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. For
example, for an 80 GB HDD, Windows calculates the capacity as
74.5 GB, (80x1,000x1,000x1,000) Bytes/(1,024x1,024x1,024) Bytes
= 74.505 GB.
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even
smaller because some programs, such as Samsung Recovery, may
reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
Memory capacity representation
The available memory capacity in Windows is less than the actual
capacity of memory. This is because some memory is required for
regular system operations.
For example, for 1 GB (= 1,024 MB) memory installed, Windows
may report the capacity as 1,022 MB or less.
Data precautions
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.
* Please use Windows 10 64-bit only for this model.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, it may
cause harmful interference. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference
basis with other devices operating at this frequency. Any
changes or modification to said product not expressly
approved by Intel could void the user’s authority to
operate this device.

Intentional emitter per FCC Part 15
(If fitted with 2.4 G band or 5 G band)
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless
communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band,
may be present (embedded) in the notebook system. This section
is only applicable if these devices are present. Refer to the system
label to verify the presence of wireless devices.
Wireless devices that may be in the system are only qualified for
use in the United States of America if an FCC ID number is on the
system label.
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the
5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be
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.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user
may find the following booklet helpful: “Something About
Interference.”
This is available at FCC local regional offices. Our company is not
responsible for any radio or television interference caused by
unauthorized modifications of this equipment or the substitution
or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than
those specified by our company. The correction will be the
responsibility of the user. Use only shielded data cables with this
system.
