System Setup program
A BIOS-based program that allows you to configure your system's hardware and customize the system's operation by setting
such features as password protection and energy management. Some options in the System Setup program require that you
reboot the system (or the system may reboot automatically) in order to make a hardware configuration change. Because the
System Setup program is stored in NVRAM, any settings remain in effect until you change them again.
system.ini file
A start-up file for the Windows operating system. When you start Windows, it consults the system.ini file to determine a
variety of options for the Windows operating environment. Among other things, the system.ini file records which video,
mouse, and keyboard drivers are installed for Windows.
Running the Control Panel or Windows Setup program may change options in the system.ini file. On other occasions, you
may need to change or add options to the system.ini file manually with a text editor, such as Notepad.
termination
Some devices (such as the last device at each end of a SCSI cable) must be terminated to prevent reflections and spurious
signals in the cable. When such devices are connected in a series, you may need to enable or disable the termination on these
devices by changing jumper or switch settings on the devices or by changing settings in the configuration software for the
devices.
text mode
A video mode that can be defined as x columns by y rows of characters.
UL
Abbreviation for Underwriters Laboratories.
UMB
Abbreviation for upper memory blocks.
UNIX
Abbreviation for UNiversal Internet eXchange. UNIX, precursor to Linux, is an operating system written in the C programming
language. Known for its portability and flexibility, UNIX has become a leading operating system for computer workstations.
upper memory area
The 384 KB of RAM located between 640 KB and 1 MB. If the system has an Intel386 or higher microprocessor, a utility called
a memory manager can create UMBs in the upper memory area, in which you can load device drivers and memory-resident
programs.
UPS
Abbreviation for uninterruptible power supply. A battery-powered unit that automatically supplies power to your system in the
event of an electrical failure.
USB
Abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. A USB connector provides a single connection point for multiple USB-compliant devices,
such as mice, keyboards, printers, and system speakers. USB devices can also be connected and disconnected while the
system is running.
