High Voltage Differential (HVD)
A logic signaling system that enables data communication between a
supported host and the library. HVD signaling uses a paired plus and
minus signal level to reduce the effects of noise on the SCSI bus. Any noise
injected into the signal is present in both a plus and minus state, and is
thereby canceled. Synonymous with
differential .
HVD SCSI Bus High Voltage Differential
Hz Hertz (cycles per second).
I
IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Half-High Tape Drive
Located within the library, a data-storage device that controls the
movement of the magnetic tape in an IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridge.
The drive houses the mechanism (drive head) that reads and writes data to
the tape.
ID Identifier.
identifier (ID)
(1) In programming languages, a lexical unit that names a language object;
for example, the names of variables, arrays, records, labels, or procedures.
An identifier usually consists of a letter optionally followed by letters,
