B.2 F-J
G
Gigabit Ethernet (GE)
An extension and enhancement of
traditional shared media Ethernet
standards. It is compatible with 10 Mbit/s
and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet and complies
with IEEE 802.3z standards.
H

Replacing or adding components
without stopping or shutting down the
system.
B.3 K-O

video, keyboard and mouse (KVM).
B.4 P-T
P
panel
An external component (including but
not limited to ejector levers, indicators,
and ports) on the front or rear of the
server. It seals the front and rear of the
chassis to ensure optimal ventilation and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
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
