About the Product Capacity Representation
Standard
About the capacity representation of the storage
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 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)

Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
What is a Recovery Area?
•• Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover computers or save backup files.
(Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.) This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery image that comprises of the OS and application programs.
•• You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution while booting the computer icon on the desktop or press to enter the Recovery Area. Then you can back up the present computer state or recover the computer from backed up images.
•• For deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional
Recovery Area Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area, you can use the newly created partition for other uses, such as for saving personal data. Be careful that once the recovery area is deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.
The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is different from the product specifications.
•• 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. This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does not mean the installed HDD is different from the product specifications. •• 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 Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because Samsung Recovery Solution 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 Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because of the different size of applied programs.

This refers to automatically allocating IP addresses to the users on the network by the network administrators.
Chargeable USB
An application interface developed to enable Windows application programs to access hardware devices at a very high speed. Since the operating speed of graphics, memory and sound cards must be very fast to provide high quality video and sound for games, Direct
X enables faster control and interaction between applications and hardware devices. By using Direct X, the multimedia performance of Windows has been hugely improved.
This program enables supplying power to a specific USB port when the system is in power saving mode, hibernation mode or off.
Client
This refers to a computer that uses a shared network resource provided by a server.
DDR SDRAM
(Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
DRAM is a memory type whose cells consist of a capacitor and transistor manufactured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by synchronizing the clock with the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by doubling the operating speed of the SDRAM and is widely used nowadays. This computer uses
DDR SDRAM.
Device Manager
An administrative tool used to manage computer devices. You can add or remove hardware or update a device driver using the Device
Manager.
Direct X
Driver
Software that interacts between the hardware and the operating system. An operating system knows the hardware information and controls the hardware. In general, a driver is supplied with the corresponding hardware device.
D-sub (D-subminiature)
This is the cable connecting a general CRT monitor and the computer. Analog video is output through this cable.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)
IEEE802.XX
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. 115
This is a set fo specifications developed by the 802 committee of
IEEE for the LAN connection method called XX.
Firewall
A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication procedure.
HDMI
This is a digital video / audio interface specification that transmits video and audio signals over a single cable.
Hibernation Mode
A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state. Icon
This refers to a small image that represents a file that users can use.
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.

Network
Protocol
A 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.
A 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 defines the data transmission procedures and the transmission medium for more efficient network functions.
Network Administrator
A user who plans, configures and manages network operations.
Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system administrator. Notification Area
This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time.
Partition
This 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.
Quick Launch
This refers to a toolbar that can be configured 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) card
This is the extension of the SD card that supports over 2GB bytes.
SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity)
SDXC provides a higher capacity and speed than the SDHC specification. This is a new SD card specification that can theoretically implement a memory capacity up to 2TB.
For high capacity implementation, apply the exFAT specifications.
Server
In general, a server refers to a computer that provides shared resources for network users.

Share
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
This refers to setting a resource of a computer such as a folder or printer so that other users can also use it.
117
This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2.
Shared Folder
A folder that can be used by other users on the network.
Sleep Mode
A 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 off, the data in memory will be lost.
System File
System Files refer to files that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system files must not be deleted or moved. TCP/IPv4
This 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.
The data transmission specifications are one of the interface standards used to connect a computer to peripheral devices.
These specifications 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 Player
A multimedia program included with Windows. Using this program, you can play a media file, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage media files, and copy files to a portable device, etc.
