FSB
The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the bi-directional communication channel
between the processor and the Northbridge chipset.
GbE
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is an Ethernet version that transfers data at 1.0
Gbps and complies with the andard.
HDD
Hard disk drive (HDD) is a type of magnetic, non-volatile computer
storage device that stores digitally encoded data.
HyperTransport™
Bus
The HyperTransport™ bus, which uses HyperTransport™ technology.
interfaces an AMD CPU with the Northbridge. HyperTransport™
technology provides a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link
between the CPU and the Northbridge.
L1 Cache
The Level 1 Cache (L1 Cache) is a small memory cache built into the
system processor.
L2 Cache
The Level 2 Cache (L2 Cache) is an external processor memory
cache.
MAC
The Media Access Control (MAC) protocol enables several terminals
or network nodes to communicate in a LAN, or other multipoint
networks.
PCIe
PCI Express (PCIe) is a communications bus that uses dual data lines
for full-duplex (two-way) serial (point-to-point) communications
between the SBC components and/or expansion cards and the SBC
chipsets. Each line has a 2.5 Gbps data transmission rate and a 250
MBps sustained data transfer rate.
POST
The Power-on Self Test (POST) is the pre-boot actions the system
performs when the system is turned-on.
RAID
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) refers to redundantly
backing up data on multiple disks to ensure that if one disk fails, the
data is not lost and can be restored from the remaining disks in the
array.
RAM
Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that loses data
when power is lost. RAM has very fast data transfer rates compared to
other storage like hard drives.
SATA
Serial ATA (SATA) is a serial communications bus designed for data
transfers between storage devices and the computer chipsets. The
SATA bus has transfer speeds up to 1.5 Gbps and the SATA II bus has
data transfer speeds of up to 3.0 Gbps.
