TB. See terabyte (TB).

TCP. See Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

TCP/IP. See Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

TEMPLI. The Event Management Service (EMS) template installation program that merges

template object files from specified subsystems and produces resident and nonresident

template files.

terabyte (TB). A unit of measurement equal to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (1024 gigabytes).

See also gigabyte (GB), kilobyte (KB), and megabyte (MB).

terminal. A type of Open System Services (OSS) character special file that conforms to the

interface description in Clause 7 of ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990.

terminator. A resistor connected to a signal wire in a bus or network for the purpose of

impedance matching to prevent reflections. SCSI chains, Ethernet cables, and some

LocalTalk wiring configurations require terminators.

Tetra 8 topology. A tetrahedral topology of HP NonStop™ S-series servers that allows a

maximum of four processor enclosures (eight processors) and eight I/O enclosures.

Contrast with Tetra 16 topology.

Tetra 16 topology. A tetrahedral topology of HP NonStop™ S-series servers that allows a

maximum of eight processor enclosures (16 processors). The maximum number of I/O

enclosures allowed by the Tetra 16 topology varies depending on the software release

version update (RVU) and the server model. Contrast with Tetra 8 topology.

tetrahedral topology. A topology of HP NonStop™ S-series servers in which the ServerNet

connections between the processor enclosures form a tetrahedron. See also

tetrahedron and topology.

tetrahedron. A solid bounded by four triangular faces. In ServerNet context, a tetrahedron

is four processors interconnected by ServerNet links so as to form a conceptual

tetrahedron. Each processor therefore has a direct connection to the other three

processors. See tetrahedral topology.

text string. A variable-length sequence of ASCII characters, defined in the CONFTEXT file,

that an identifier represents. When Distributed Systems Management/Software

Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) encounters an identifier, it substitutes the

associated text string for the identifier.

TF. See time factor (TF).

TFDS. See HP Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS).

TFTP. See Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
