bus and have separate electrical contacts on each side of the module.
EHCI The Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) specification is a
register-level interface description for USB 2.0 Host Controllers.
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.
HDD Hard disk drive (HDD) is a type of magnetic, non-volatile computer
storage device that stores digitally encoded data.
HyperTransport™
Bus
The HyperTransport™ bus, which uses HyperTransport™ technology.
interfaces an AMD CPU with the Northbridge. HyperTransport™
technology provides a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link
between the CPU and the Northbridge.
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.
MAC The Media Access Control (MAC) protocol enables several terminals
or network nodes to communicate in a LAN, or other multipoint
networks.
PCIe PCI Express (PCIe) is a communications bus that uses dual data lines
for full-duplex (two-way) serial (point-to-point) communications
between the SBC components and/or expansion cards and the SBC
chipsets. Each line has a 2.5 Gbps data transmission rate and a 250
MBps sustained data transfer rate.
POST The Power-on Self Test (POST) is the pre-boot actions the system
performs when the system is turned-on.
RAID Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) refers to redundantly
backing up data on multiple disks to ensure that if one disk fails, the
data is not lost and can be restored from the remaining disks in the
array.
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
