Peripheral Component Interconnect
Express (PCIe)
A computer bus PCI, which uses the
existing PCI programming concepts and
communication standards, but builds a
faster serial communication system.
Intel
®
is the main sponsor for PCIe.
PCIe is used only for internal
interconnection. PCIe is based on the
existing PCI system. Therefore, the
existing PCI system can be converted
into PCIe only by modifying the physical
layer without modifying the software.
PCIe has a faster rate. It can replace
almost all existing internal buses
(including AGP and PCI).
R
redundancy
A mechanism that allows a backup
device to automatically take over
services from a faulty device to ensure
uninterrupted running of the system.
redundant array of independent disks
(RAID)
A storage technology that combines
multiple physical drives into a logical
unit for the purposes of data
redundancy and performance
improvement.
S
server
A special computer that provides
services for clients over a network.
System event log (SEL)
Event records stored in the system used
for subsequent fault diagnosis and
system recovery.
