EIA
Electronic Industries Alliance.
EIA unit
A unit of measure, which is established by the Electronic Industries Alliance, equal to 44.45 mm (1.75
in.).
electrostatic discharge
The flow of current that results when objects that have a static charge come into close enough
proximity to discharge. This undesirable discharge can damage equipment and degrade electrical
circuitry.
enable
Setting the drive software to be able to complete an action or function, such as to encipher or
decipher data on media.
encryption
The process of securing data by enciphering or encoding it. Some encryption-capable drives can be
made encryption-enabled.
encryption-capable
A drive that, not set, can be made able to encipher and decipher data in a data cartridge.
encryption-enabled
A drive that is set to encipher and decipher data in a data cartridge.
end-of-block (EOB)
A code that marks the end of a block of data.
end-of-file (EOF)
A code that marks the end of a file of data.
end-of-tape (EOT)
The end of the recording area on a tape.
