RAID Migration

A feature in RAID subsystems that allows for changing a RAID level to another level without powering down the system.

RAM

Random Access Memory, the "built-in" readable and writable data storage that comes with (or can be added to) a computer.

RISC

Reduced Instruction Set Computing, architecture for an application-specific processor.

RJ-11, RJ-45

Registered Jacks (sometimes described as RJ-XX), a series of telephone connection interfaces (receptacle and plug) that are registered with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The most common telephone jack is the RJ-11 jack, which can have six conductors but is usually implemented with four. The RJ-11 jack is likely to be the jack that your household or office phones are plugged into from the ordinary "untwisted" wire (sometimes called "gray satin" or "flat wire") that people are most familiar with. The RJ-45 is a single-line jack for digital transmission over ordinary phone wire, either untwisted or twisted; the interface has eight pins or positions.

ROM

Read-Only Memory, built-in computer memory containing data that normally can only be read, not written to. ROM contains the programming that allows a computer to be "booted up" each time you turn it on. Unlike a computer's random access memory (RAM), the data in ROM is not lost when the computer power is turned off; a small long-life battery in your computer sustains the ROM.

SAF-TE

SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure, an “open” specification designed to provide a comprehensive standardized method to monitor and report status information on the condition of disk drives, power supplies, and cooling systems used in high availability LAN servers and storage subsystems. The specification is independent of hardware I/O cabling, operating systems, server platforms, and RAID implementation because the
