SCSI GLOSSARY (Abbreviations continued) SCSI: small computer system interface SIO: serial input/output SO-DIMM: small-outline dual in-line memory module SVGA: super video graphics adapter SDRAM: synchronized dynamic random access memory TFT: thin-film transistor UART: universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter USB: Universal Serial Bus VESA: Video Electronic Standards Association VGA: video graphics array VRM: video ready modem VRT: voltage reduction technology A adapter: A device that provides an inter
Byte Bluetooth: A short-range radio technology designed to simplify wireless communication among computers, communication devices and the Internet. B board: A circuit board. An internal card containing electronic components, called chips, which perform a specific function or increase the capabilities of the system. backup: A duplicate copy of files kept as a spare in case the original is destroyed.
cache memory GLOSSARY C cache memory: High speed memory which stores data that increases processor speed and data transfer rate. When the CPU reads data from main memory, it stores a copy of this data in cache memory. The next time the CPU needs that same data, it looks for it in the cache memory rather than the main memory, which saves time. The computer has two cache levels. Level one is incorporated into the processor and level two resides in external memory. card: Synonym for board. See board.
Definition compatibility: 1) The ability of one computer to accept and process data in the same manner as another computer without modifying the data or the media upon which it is being transferred. 2) the ability of one device to connect to or communicate with another system or component. components: Elements or parts (of a system) which make up the whole (system). computer program: A set of instructions written for a computer that enable it to achieve a desired result.
delete GLOSSARY delete: To remove data from a disk or other data storage device. Synonymous with erase. device driver: A program that controls communication between a specific peripheral device and the computer. The CONFIG.SYS file contains device drivers that MS-DOS loads when you turn the computer on. dialog box: A window that accepts user input to make system settings or record other information. disk drive: The device that randomly accesses information on a disk and copies it to the computer’s memory.
hertz format: The process of readying a blank disk for its first use. Formatting establishes the structure of the disk that the operating system expects before it writes files or programs onto the disk. escape guard time: A time before and after an escape code is sent to the modem which distinguishes between escapes that are part of the transmitted data, and escapes that are intended as a command to the modem. folder: An icon in Windows used to store documents or other folders.
GLOSSARY hexadecimal hexadecimal: The base 16 numbering system composed of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. host computer: The computer that controls, regulates, and transmits information to a device or another computer. hot dock/undock: Connecting or disconnecting a device to or from the computer while the computer’s power is turned on.
modem KB: See kilobyte. kilobyte (KB): A unit of data storage equal to 1024 bytes. See also byte and megabit. M main board: See motherboard. MDA: Monochrome Display Adapter. A video display protocol defined by the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter and its associated circuitry for direct drive TTL displays that supports a monochrome 720x350 text mode. megabyte (MB): A unit of data storage equal to 1024 kilobytes. See also kilobyte. level 2 cache: See cache.
GLOSSARY monitor monitor: A device that uses rows and columns of pixels to display alphanumeric characters or graphic images. See CRT. motherboard: A name sometimes used to refer to the main printed circuit board in processing equipment. It usually contains integrated circuits that perform the processor’s basic functions and provides connectors for adding other boards that perform special functions. Sometimes called a main board.
RAM password: A unique string of characters used to identify a specific user. The computer provides various levels of password protection such as user, supervisor and eject. pel: The smallest area of the display that can be addressed by software. Equal in size to a pixel or group of pixels. See pixel. peripheral component interconnect: An industry standard 32-bit bus. peripheral device: An I/O device that is external to the central processor and/ or main memory such as a printer or a mouse.
GLOSSARY restart restart: Resetting a computer without turning it off (also called ‘warm boot’ or ‘soft reset’). To restart the computer, press CTRL + ALT + DEL while the computer is on. See also boot. RCA jack: A single-pin connector that carries composite video signals, which include both contrast and color information. See also S-video. RGB: Red, green, and blue.
write protection synchronous: Having a constant time interval between successive bits, characters or events. system disk: A disk that has been formatted with an operating system. For MS-DOS the operating system is contained in two hidden files and the COMMAND.COM file. You can boot a computer using a system disk. Also called an operating system disk. T terminal: A typewriter-like keyboard and CRT display screen connected to the computer for data input/output.
