RDRAM
Acronym for Rambus DRAM. A dynamic RAM chip
technology from Rambus, Inc. Direct RDRAMs are
used in systems. Direct RDRAM chips are housed in
RIMM modules, which are similar to DIMMs but have
different pin settings. The chips can be built with dual
channels, doubling the transfer rate to 3.2 GB/sec.
read-only file
A read-only file is one that you are prohibited from
editing or deleting. A file can have read-only status if:
• Its read-only attribute is enabled.
• It resides on a physically write-protected diskette or
on a diskette in a write-protected drive.
• It is located on a network in a directory to which the
system administrator has assigned read-only rights
to you.
readme file
A text file included with a software package or hardware
product that contains information supplementing or
updating the documentation for the software or
hardware. Typically, readme files provide installation
information, describe new product enhancements or
corrections that have not yet been documented, and
list known problems or other things you need to be
aware of as you use the software or hardware.
real mode
An operating mode supported by 80286 or higher
microprocessors, real mode imitates the architecture of
an 8086 microprocessor.
refresh rate
The rate at which the monitor redraws the video image
on the monitor screen. More precisely, the refresh rate
is the frequency, measured in Hz, at which the screen's
horizontal lines are recharged (sometimes also referred
to as its vertical frequency). The higher the refresh rate,
the less video flicker can be seen by the human eye. The
higher refresh rates are also noninterlaced.
remote management system
A remote management system is any system that
accesses the Server Administrator home page on a
managed system from a remote location using a
supported Web browser. See managed system.
RFI
Abbreviation for radio frequency interference.
RGB
Abbreviation for red/green/blue.
RIMM
Acronym for Rambus In-line Memory Module, which
is the Rambus equivalent of a DIMM module.
RMI
Acronym for Remote Method Invocation. RMI is a part
of the Java programming language library that enables
a Java program running on one system to access the
objects and methods of another Java program running
on a different system.
ROM
Acronym for read-only memory. Your system contains
some programs essential to its operation in ROM code.
Unlike RAM, a ROM chip retains its contents even
after you turn off your system. Examples of code in
ROM include the program that initiates your system's
boot routine and the POST.
rpm
Abbreviation for revolutions per minute.
RPM
Abbreviation for Red Hat
®
Package Manager.
RTC
Abbreviation for real-time clock. Battery-powered
clock circuitry inside the system that keeps the date
and time after you turn off the system.
SAN
