G-6 AcceleRAID 170 Installation Guide
active controllers (also called Active/Active controllers) are connected to the
same set of devices and provide a combination of higher I/O performance
and greater failure tolerance than a single controller.
ECC
Error Correcting Code, a method of generating redundant information which
can be used to detect and correct errors in stored or transmitted data.
EDO
Extended Data Output, a type of random access memory ( RAM ) chip
designed to improve the time to read from memory on faster
microprocessors such as the Intel
®
Pentium.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable PROM, see EPROM .
EISA
Extended Industry Standard Architecture, a bus standard for PCs extending
the
ISA architecture to 32 bits and allowing more than one CPU to share the
bus.
Embedded Storage Controller
An intelligent storage controller that mounts in a host computer’s housing
and attaches directly to a host’s memory bus with no intervening I/O adapter
or I/O bus.
EPROM
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory, memory which can be erased
and re-used.
eXtremeRAID
A family of Mylex RAID controllers which offer uncompromising fault
tolerance, data availability, superior configuration, and management
flexibility. The eXtremeRAID family incorporates the latest performance
technology by using the fastest processor on a PCI based RAID solution, a
233 MHz RISC processor, up to four 160MB/sec Ultra 160 SCSI (Ultra3
SCSI) channels, and a 64-bit PCI interface to provide eXtreme performance
for servers. The eXtremeRAID controllers use driver technology with which
Mylex has won tpm-C benchmarks worldwide. With this technology, the
