bus or a set of SCSI busses. SISL: SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic ( LSI ) (only on LSI
SCSI boards)
Sleep/Suspend mode:
in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.
SDRAM (Static RAM):
unlike DRAM, this type of RAM does not need to be refreshed in
order to prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster and more expensive.
Standby mode:
in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices
continue to operate normally.
UltraDMA-33/66/100:
a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called
UltraATA. Without a proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of
higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives.
USB (Universal Serial Bus):
a versatile port. This one port type can function as a serial,
parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. It is fast enough to support video transfer, and
is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices.
VGA (Video Graphics Array):
the PC video display standard
V-SYNC:
controls the vertical scanning properties of the monitor.
ZCR (Zero Channel RAID):
PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI
chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution
ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket):
these sockets make it possible to insert
CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF
socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into
the board and locking it into place.
