Restart
See Reset.
Resume
To proceed after interruption. In your LifeBook note-
book this refers to returning to active operation after
having been in one of the suspension states.
ROM
Read Only Memory. A form of memory in which infor-
mation is stored by physically altering the material. Data
stored in this way can not be changed by your LifeBook
notebook and does not require power to maintain it.
SDRAM
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.
Serial Port
A connection to another device through which data is
transferred one bit at a time on a single wire with any
other wires only for control of the device not for transfer
of data.
Shadow RAM
A technique of copying data or applications stored in
ROM (Read Only Memory) into RAM (Random Access
Memory) for access during actual operation. RAM is
much faster to access than ROM, however ROM
contents are not lost when power is removed.
Shadowing allows permanently stored information
to be rapidly accessed.
SPDIF
Sony Philips Digital Interface Format. The optical digital
audio format that allows you to download digital audio
onto a MiniDisc recorder.
SRAM
Static random access memory. A specific technology of
making RAM which does not require periodic data
refreshing.
SSID
Service Set Identifier
Specifies which network you are joining. Some systems
allow you to specify any SSID as an option so you can
join any network.
Status Indicator
A display which reports the condition of some portion
of your hardware. On your LifeBook notebook this is an
LCD screen just above the keyboard.
Stereo (audio)
A system using two channels to process sound from two
different sources.
Stroke (keyboard)
The amount of travel of a key when it is pressed from
resting to fully depressed.
Suspend
To make inoperative for a period of time. Your LifeBook
notebook uses various suspension states to reduce power
consumption and prolong the charge of your battery.
SVGA
Super VGA. Standard that provides 800x600 pixel
resolution and a palette of 16M colors.
S-Video
Super Video. A component video system for driving a
TV or computer monitor.
System Clock
An oscillator of fixed precise frequency which

to provide time of day and date.
TFT
Thin Film Transistor – A technology for flat display
panels which uses a thin film matrix of transistors to
control each pixel of the display screen individually.
UL
Underwriters Laboratories – An independent organiza-
tion that tests and certifies the electrical safety of devices.
UMA
Unified Memory Architecture. A computer architecture
that uses graphics chips on the motherboard that use
part of the main memory for video memory.
USB
Universal Serial Bus. The USB specification is a periph-
eral bus standard for connecting external devices at up
to 11Mbps. Some features of the standard include
support for up to 127 concurrent USB devices, dynamic
insertion and removal of devices, and self-identifying
peripheral configuration for true plug-and-play func-
tionality.
VGA
Video Graphics Array. A video display standard
originally introduced by IBM with the PS/2 series of
personal computers. Provides resolutions of 720 x 400.
VRAM
Video Random Access Memory. A memory dedicated to
video display data and control.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy
WEP is a protocol for increasing privacy over wireless
LANs. The protocol works by encrypting data while
