    Glossary access time The time period between the supply of an access signal and the output or acceptance of the data by the addressed system. Examples are the access times for DRAMs, SRAMs, hard drives, and CD-ROM drives. Hard drive access time is the time it takes for a computer to get data from the drive.
  • Page 215 Application Programming Interface. An API is a series of functions that programs can use to make the operating system do routine or repetitive tasks. Using Windows APIs, for example, a program can open windows, files, and message boxes (as well as perform more complicated tasks) by passing a single instruction.

  • Page 217 Binary digit. The smallest unit of computer data. A single digital piece of information, generally represented by the numeral 0 or 1. Usually the transition between the states of +5V and -5V within a computer, the charge of a transistor in an integrated circuit, or the change in polarity of a magnetic region on a disk.
  • Page 218 boot sector The part of the boot block that contains the operating system loader, a program that starts by itself and loads the operating system. Bits per second. The number of bits of data that can be transmitted in one second. Because data compression schemes enable more than one bit per voltage transition, bps is equivalent to baud only if no compression is used.

The EIDE specification is an enhanced version of IDE that allows for faster transfer rates and supports larger hard drive sizes enhanced VGA A video interface that offers more colors or higher resolution than VGA. Enhanced Parallel Port, a parallel port standard for PCs that supports bidirectional communication between the PC and attached device (such as a printer).
  • Page 222 hertz (Hz) A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. hexadecimal A number system that uses 16 as the base. (Place value indicates powers of 16.) It uses the digits 0-9 and A-F. Used around computers because a byte (eight binary digits) easily converts to a two digit hexadecimal number.
  • Page 223 Interrupt Request. A signal that, when received by the CPU, makes it stop what it is going to do something else. An interrupt is a way in which a particular device in a computer communicates with the CPU. PCs have 16 IRQ lines that can be assigned to different devices (for example, printers, scanners, modems).

  • Page 227 Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. A hard drive feature that works in conjunction with system software (for example, LANDesk Client Manager, NEC Auto Backup) for identifying a potential problem on the hard drive and automatically backing up system files to a user-specified device, such as a tape or Zip drive.
  • Page 228 system board The main printed circuit board inside the system unit into which other boards and major chip components, such as the system microprocessor, are connected. Tracks per inch. track Any of many concentric circular regions on a disk for storing data. Tracks are divided into sectors.
