EIST
Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology (EIST) allows users to modify
the power consumption levels and processor performance through
application software. The application software changes the bus-to-core
frequency ratio and the processor core voltage.
FSB The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the bi-directional communication channel
between the processor and the Northbridge chipset.
GbE
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is an Ethernet version that transfers data at 1.0
Gbps and complies with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard.
GPIO
General purpose input
HDD Hard disk drive (HDD) is a type of magnetic, non-volatile computer
storage device that stores digitally encoded data.
ICH
The Input/Ouput Control Hub (ICH) is an Intel® Southbridge chipset.
L1 Cache The Level 1 Cache (L1 Cache) is a small memory cache built into the
system processor.
L2 Cache The Level 2 Cache (L2 Cache) is an external processor memory cache.
LCD
Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat, low-power display device that
consists of two polarizing plates with a liquid crystal panel in between.
LVDS Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a dual-wire, high-speed
differential electrical signaling system commonly used to connect LCD
displays to a computer.
POST The Power-on Self Test (POST) is the pre-boot actions the system
performs when the system is turned-on.
RAM
Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that loses data when
power is lost. RAM has very fast data transfer rates compared to other
storage like hard drives.
SATA
Serial ATA (SATA) is a serial communications bus designed for data
transfers between storage devices and the computer chipsets. The SATA
bus has transfer speeds up to 1.5 Gbps and the SATA 3Gb/s bus has
data transfer speeds of up to 3.0 Gbps.
S.M.A.R.T Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) refers to
automatic status checking technology implemented on hard disk drives.
