Resume
To proceed after interruption. In your
Computer this refers to returning to active
operation after having been in one of the
suspension states.
ROM
Read Only Memory. A form of memory in
which information is stored by physically alter-
ing the material. Data stored in this way can not
be changed by your Computer and does not
require power to maintain it.
SDRAM
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.
Serial Port
A connection to another device through which
data is transferred one bit at a time on a single
wire with any other wires only for control of
the device not for transfer of data.
SRAM
Static random access memory. A specific tech-
nology of making RAM which does not require
periodic data refreshing.
Status Indicator
A display which reports the condition of some
portion of your hardware. On your Computer
this is an LCD screen just above the keyboard.
Stereo (audio)
A system using two channels to process sound
from two different sources.
Stroke (keyboard)
The amount of travel of a key when it is pressed
from resting to fully depressed.
Suspend
To make inoperative for a period of time. Your
notebook uses various suspension states to
reduce power consumption and prolong the
charge of your battery.
SVGA
Super VGA.
Shadow RAM
A technique of copying data or applications
stored in ROM (Read Only Memory) into RAM
(Random Access Memory) for access during
actual operation. RAM is much faster to access
than ROM, however ROM contents are not lost
when power is removed. Shadowing allows
permanently stored information to be
rapidly accessed.
SMART
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology (SMART) is an emerging technology
that provides near-term failure predictions for
hard drives. When SMART is enabled the hard
drive monitors pre-determined drive attributes
that are susceptible to degradation over time. If
a failure is likely to occur, SMART makes a status
report available so that the LifeBook can prompt
the user to back up the data on the drive.
Naturally not all failures are predictable. SMART
predictability is limited to those attributes which
the drive can self-monitor. In those cases where
SMART can give advance warning, a consider-
able amount of precious data can be saved.
