DVD — Digital versatile disc.
ECC — Error checking and correction.
EEPROM — Electronically erasable programmable read-only memory.
EMC — Electromagnetic compatibility.
EMI — Electromagnetic interference.
ERA — Embedded remote access. ERA allows you to perform remote, or "out-of-band," server management on your network server using a remote access
controller.
ESD — Electrostatic discharge.
ESM — Embedded server management.
expansion bus — Your system contains an expansion bus that allows the processor to communicate with controllers for peripherals, such as NICs.
expansion card — An add-in card, such as a NIC or SCSI adapter, that plugs into an expansion-card connector on the system board. An expansion card adds
some specialized function to the system by providing an interface between the expansion bus and a peripheral.
expansion-card connector — A connector on the system board or riser board for plugging in an expansion card.
FAT — File allocation table. The file system structure used by MS-DOS to organize and keep track of file storage. The Microsoft®Windows®operating
systems can optionally use a FAT file system structure.
FBD — Fully buffered DIMM.
flash memory — A type of EEPROM chip that can be reprogrammed from a utility on diskette while still installed in a system; most EEPROM chips can only be
rewritten with special programming equipment.
format — To prepare a hard drive or diskette for storing files. An unconditional format deletes all data stored on the disk.
FSB — Front-side bus. The FSB is the data path and physical interface between the processor and the main memory (RAM).
FTP — File transfer protocol.
Gb — Gigabit(s);1024megabitsor1,073,741,824bits.
GB — Gigabyte(s);1024megabytesor1,073,741,824bytes.However,whenreferringtohard-drive capacity, the term is usually rounded to 1,000,000,000
bytes.
graphics mode — A video mode that can be defined as x horizontal by y vertical pixels by z colors.
group — As it relates to DMI, a group is a data structure that defines common information, or attributes, about a manageable component.
guarding — A type of data redundancy in which a set of physical drives stores data and an additional drive stores parity data. See also mirroring, striping,
and RAID.
h — Hexadecimal. A base-16 numbering system, often used in programming to identify addresses in the system's RAM and I/O memory addresses for
devices. In text, hexadecimal numbers are often followed by h.
headless system — A system or device that functions without having a keyboard, mouse, or monitor attached. Normally, headless systems are managed
over a network using an Internet browser.
host adapter — A host adapter implements communication between the system's bus and the controller for a peripheral device. (Hard-drive controller
subsystems include integrated host adapter circuitry.) To add a SCSI expansion bus to your system, you must install or connect the appropriate host
adapter.
hot plug — Describes the feature of the system that enables you to swap a component of the system while the system is running.
I/O — Input/output. A keyboard is an input device, and a monitor is an output device. In general, I/O activity can be differentiated from computational
activity.
IDE — Integrated drive electronics. A standard interface between the system board and storage devices.
integrated mirroring — Provides simultaneous physical mirroring of two drives. Integrated mirroring functionality is provided by the system's hardware. See
also mirroring.
internal processor cache — An instruction and data cache built into the processor.
IPX — Internet package exchange.
IRQ — Interruptrequest.AsignalthatdataisabouttobesenttoorreceivedbyaperipheraldevicetravelsbyanIRQlinetotheprocessor.Eachperipheral
connection must be assigned an IRQ number. Two devices can share the same IRQ assignment, but you cannot operate both devices simultaneously.
jumper — Small blocks on a circuit board with two or more pins emerging from them. Plastic plugs containing a wire fit down over the pins. The wire connects
the pins and creates a circuit, providing a simple and reversible method of changing the circuitry in a board.
Kb — Kilobit(s); 1024 bits.
KB — Kilobyte(s); 1024 bytes.
Kbps — Kilobit(s) per second.
KBps — Kilobyte(s) per second.
key combination — A command requiring you to press multiple keys at the same time (for example, <Ctrl><Alt><Del>).
kg — Kilogram(s); 1000 grams.
KMM — Keyboard/monitor/mouse.
KVM — Keyboard/video/mouse. KVM refers to a switch that allows selection of the system from which the video
is displayed and for which the keyboard and mouse are used.
