is connected to the cable or communications line through a data communications equipment (DCE) device, such as a modem.
ECC
Abbreviation for error checking and correction.
ECP
Abbreviation for Extended Capabilities Port.
EEPROM
Acronym for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory.
EIDE
Abbreviation for enhanced integrated drive electronics. EIDE devices add one or more of the following enhancements to the traditional IDE standard:
l
Data transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec
l
Support for drives other than just hard-disk drives, such as CD-ROM and tape drives
l
Support for hard-disk drives with capacities greater than 528 MB
l
Support for up to two controllers, each with up to two devices attached
EISA
Acronym for Extended Industry-Standard Architecture, a 32-bit expansion-bus design. The expansion-card connectors in an EISA system are also compatible with 8-
or 16-bit ISA expansion cards.
To avoid a configuration conflict when installing an EISA expansion card, you must use the EISA Configuration Utility. This utility allows you to specify which
expansion slot contains the card and obtains information about the card's required system resources from a corresponding EISA configuration file.
EMC
Abbreviation for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
EMI
Abbreviation for electromagnetic interference.
EMM
Abbreviation for expanded memory manager. A utility that uses extended memory to emulate expanded memory on systems with an Intel386™ or higher
microprocessor.
EMS
Abbreviation for Expanded Memory Specification.
EPROM
Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory.
ESD
Abbreviation for electrostatic discharge.
expanded memory
A technique for accessing RAM above 1 MB. To enable expanded memory on your system, you must use an EMM. You should configure your system to support
expanded memory only if you run application programs that can use (or require) expanded memory.
expansion bus
Your system contains an expansion bus that allows the microprocessor to communicate with controllers for peripheral devices, such as a network card or an internal
modem.
expansion-card connector
A connector on the system's systemsystem board or riser board for plugging in an expansion card.
