106Chapter 5.   TroubleshootingYou can look for potential problems that may occur with the system and view the relevant solutions. Also, you may look up any reference(s) required while operating the computer.Recovery RelatedQ1What is a Recovery Area?A  Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover computers or save backup les. (Only for models with the Recovery.)  This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery image that comprises of the OS and application programs.Q2The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is dierent from the product specications.A  The capacity of the storage device (HDD) 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 programs occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.  For models with Recovery, the HDD capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because Recovery uses a hidden area of about 5~20GB 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 Recovery varies by models because of the dierent size of applied programs.Q3What is a recovery image?A  This refers to the computer status (including operating system, specic driver(s), software(s), etc.) which is converted to a data image. It is required to recover your computer and is embedded in the computer's hard disk. However, this is not provided for storage devices where the capacity is less than 64 GB due to the small capacity.

118119Chapter 6 AppendixHealth and safety information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certication Information (SAR) This product can contain an embedded radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientic and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic literature related to the biological eects of RF energy. The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units 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 certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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. Before a new model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC.

136137Chapter 6 AppendixDVD (Digital Versatile Disk)DVD was developed to replace CD (compact disk). Although the shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and supports MPEG2 compression and digital audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is required.FirewallA security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication procedure.HDMIThis is a digital video / audio interface specication that transmits video and audio signals over a single cable.Hibernation ModeA power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk o. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state.IconThis refers to a small image that represents a le that users can use.IEEE802.XXThis is a set fo specications developed by the 802 committee of IEEE for the LAN connection method called XX.LAN (Local Area Network)A communications network connecting computers, 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 uses TCP/IP as the default protocol.LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain.Glossary
138Chapter 6 AppendixNetworkA group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link. A network can be either small or large and can be connected permanently through cables or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless links. The biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network.Network AdministratorA user who plans, congures and manages network operations. Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system administrator.Notication AreaThis refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time.PartitionThis refers to the act or practice of dividing the storage space of a hard disk drive into separate data areas known as partitions. If a 100GB hard disk drive is partitioned into 2 x 50GB partitions, the hard disk drive can be used as if there are 2 hard disk drives.PCMCIA( Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) cardThis is an extended card slot specication for mobile computers such as a notebook computer. Not only a memory,  device but also most peripherals such as hard disk drives, LAN cards, etc. can be connected to this card slot.ProtocolA protocol is a set of rules used by computers to communicate with each other across a network. A protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between computing endpoints. It denes the data transmission procedures and the transmission medium for more ecient network functions.Quick LaunchThis refers to a toolbar that can be congured so that you can launch a program such as Internet Explorer or display the Windows Desktop with one click. You can add any icon to the quick launch area of the Taskbar and launch frequently used program by clicking that icon.SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cardThis is the extension of the SD card that supports over 2GB bytes.Glossary
138139Chapter 6 AppendixSDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) SDXC provides a higher capacity and speed than the SDHC specication. This is a new SD card specication that can theoretically implement a memory capacity up to 2TB.For high capacity implementation, apply the exFAT specications.ServerIn general, a server refers to a computer that provides shared resources for network users.ShareThis refers to setting a resource of a computer such as a folder or printer so that other users can also use it.Shared FolderA folder that can be used by other users on the network.Sleep ModeA power mode that enables computers to save power consumption when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the power is turned o, the data in memory will be lost.System FileSystem Files refer to les that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system les must not be deleted or moved.TCP/IPv4This is a 4 byte (32 bit) address system separated into each byte  (8 bits) by a dot and each byte is represented as a decimal number.USB (Universal Serial Bus)This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2. The data transmission specications are one of the interface standards used to connect a computer to peripheral devices.  These specications include USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0. It is appropriate to support peripheral devices that require high data rates such as an AV device, secondary HDD or CD-RW.  The higher the version (e.g. USB 3.0), the higher the data rate provided.Windows Media PlayerA multimedia program included with Windows. Using this program, you can play a media le, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage media les, and copy les to a portable device, etc.Glossary
