Dell PowerEdge R210 - Manual (Page 13)

expansion-card connector — A connector on the system board or riser board for plugging in an expansion card.
F — Fahrenheit.
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.
Fibre Channel — A high-speed network interface used primarily with networked storage devices.
flash memory — A type of electronic chip that can be programmed and reprogrammed using a software utility.
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.
g — Gram(s).
G — Gravities.
Gb — Gigabit(s); 1024 megabits or 1,073,741,824 bits.
GB — Gigabyte(s); 1024 megabytes or 1,073,741,824 bytes. However, when referring to hard-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.
host adapter — A controller that implements communication between the system's bus and the peripheral device, typically a storage device.
hot-swap — The ability to insert or install a device, typically a hard drive or an internal cooling fan, into the host system while the system is powered on and
running.
Hz — Hertz.
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.
iDRAC — Internet Dell Remote Access Controller. A remote access controller that uses the Internet SCSI protocol.
IP — Internet Protocol.
IPv6 — Internet Protocol version 6.
IPX — Internet package exchange.
IRQ — Interrupt request. A signal that data is about to be sent to or received by a peripheral device travels by an IRQ line to the processor. Each peripheral
connection must be assigned an IRQ number. Two devices can share the same IRQ assignment, but you cannot operate both devices simultaneously.
iSCSI — Internet SCSI (see SCSI). A protocol that enables SCSI device communication across a network or the Internet.
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.
K — Kilo-; 1000.
Kb — Kilobit(s); 1024 bits.
KB — Kilobyte(s); 1024 bytes.
Kbps — Kilobit(s) per second.
KBps — Kilobyte(s) per second.
kg — Kilogram(s); 1000 grams.
kHz — Kilohertz.
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.
LAN — Local area network. A LAN is usually confined to the same building or a few nearby buildings, with all equipment linked by wiring dedicated specifically
to the LAN.
LED — Light-emitting diode. An electronic device that lights up when a current is passed through it.
LGA — Land grid array.
local bus — On a system with local-bus expansion capability, certain peripheral devices (such as the video adapter circuitry) can be designed to run much
faster than they would with a traditional expansion bus. See also bus.
LOM — LAN on motherboard.
LVD — Low voltage differential.
m — Meter(s).
