For more information on troubleshooting, check the TYAN website at: http://www.tyan.com. 5.
Tiger i7320 S5350 Appendix I: Glossary Appendix I: Glossary ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications.
Tiger i7320 S5350 Appendix I: Glossary Cache size: refers to the physical size of the cache onboard. This should not be confused with the cacheable area, which is the total amount of memory which can be scanned by the system in search of data to put into the cache. A typical setup would be a cache size of 512KB, and a cacheable area of 512MB. In this case, up to 512KB of the main memory onboard is capable of being cached. However, only 512KB of this memory will be in the cache at any given moment.
Tiger i7320 S5350 Appendix I: Glossary EMRL: Embedded RAID Logic. An Adaptec specific RAID technology. ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about Plugn-Play devices in the system BIOS. This information helps properly configure the system each time it boots. Fault-tolerance: a term describing a system where one component can quickly be replaced without causing a loss of service, such as in a RAID system. Firmware: low-level software that controls the system hardware.
Tiger i7320 S5350 Appendix I: Glossary Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and it waiting for the peripheral to send some data back (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components). Mirroring: see RAID. NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory that holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile.
Tiger i7320 S5350 Appendix I: Glossary RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored in different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored redundantly, also the multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system. RAID level 0 is known as striping, where data is striped (or overlapped) across multiple hard drives, but offers no fault-tolerance.
Tiger i7320 S5350 Appendix I: Glossary SSI (Server System Infrastructure): an industry initiative intended to provide ready-to-use design specifications for common server hardware elements (chassis, power supplies, and racks) to promote and support server industry growth. Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. Striping: see RAID UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called UltraATA.
