DTE

Abbreviation for data terminal equipment. Any device (such as a computer system) that can send data in digital form by means of a cable or communications line. The DTE is connected to the cable or communications line through a data communications equipment (DCE) device, such as a modem.

ECC

Abbreviation for error correction code.

ECP

Abbreviation for Extended Capabilities Port.

EDO

Abbreviation for extended-data output. A type of RAM chip that holds data on the chip’s output data lines for a longer period of time than fast-page mode RAM chips.

The EDO RAM chips are also faster than fast-page mode RAM chips.

EEPROM

Acronym for electrically erasable programmable read- only memory.

EGA

Abbreviation for enhanced graphics adapter.

EISA

Acronym for Extended Industry-Standard Architecture, a 32-bit expansion-bus design. The expansion-card connec- tors in an EISA computer are also compatible with 8- or 16-bit ISA expansion cards.

To avoid a configuration conflict when installing an EISA expansion card, you must use the EISA Configuration Util- ity. This utility allows you to specify which expansion slot contains the card and obtains information about the card’s required system resources from a corresponding EISA configuration file.

embedded diagnostics

Diagnostic tests stored in flash memory on some Dell com- puters to assist in troubleshooting component failure that can prevent your computer from booting. Refer to your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for a complete dis- cussion about how to use the embedded diagnostics.

EMC

Abbreviation for Electromagnetic Compatibility.

EMI

Abbreviation for electromagnetic interference.

EMM

Abbreviation for expanded memory manager. A software utility that uses extended memory to emulate expanded memory on computers with an Intel386or higher micro- processor. See also conventional memory, expanded memory, extended memory, memory manager, and XMM.

EMS

Abbreviation for Expanded Memory Specification. See also expanded memory, memory manager, and XMS.

EPROM

Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory.

ESD

Abbreviation for electrostatic discharge. Refer to “Safety Instructions” at the front of your User’s Guide for a complete discussion of ESD.

ESDI

Acronym for enhanced small-device interface.

expanded memory

A technique for accessing RAM above 1 MB. To enable expanded memory on your computer, you must use an EMM. You should configure your system to support ex- panded memory only if you run application programs that can use (or require) expanded memory. See also conven- tional memory, EMM, extended memory, and memory manager.

expansion bus

Your computer contains an expansion bus that allows the microprocessor to communicate with controllers for pe- ripheral devices, such as a network card or an internal modem.

expansion-card connector

A connector on the computer’s system board for plugging in an expansion card.

extended memory

RAM above 1 MB. Most software that can use it, such as Windows, requires that extended memory be under the control of an XMM. See also conventional memory, ex- panded memory, memory manager, and XMM.
