See video adapter.

'0$

Abbreviation for direct memory access. A DMA channel allows certain types of data transfer between RAM and a device to bypass the microprocessor.

'2&

Abbreviation for Department of Commu- nications (in Canada).

GSL

Abbreviation for dots per inch.

'306

Abbreviation for Display Power Manage- ment Signaling. A standard developed by the Video Electronics Standards Associa- tion that defines the hardware signals sent by a video controller to activate power management states in a video display or monitor. A monitor is said to be DPMS- compliant when it is designed to enter a power management state after receiving the appropriate signal from a computer’s video controller.

'5$&

Abbreviation for Dell Remote Assistant Card.

'5$0

Abbreviation for dynamic random-access memory. A computer’s RAM is usually made up entirely of DRAM chips. Be- cause DRAM chips cannot store an electrical charge indefinitely, your com- puter continually refreshes each DRAM chip in the computer.

GULYH￿W\SH￿QXPEHU

Your computer can recognize a number of specific hard-disk drives. Each is assigned a drive-type number that is stored in NVRAM. The hard-disk drive(s) specified in your computer’s System Setup pro- gram must match the actual drive(s) installed in the computer. The System Setup program also allows you to specify physical parameters (cylinders, heads, write precomp, landing zone, and capaci- ty) for drives not included in the table of drive types stored in NVRAM.

'6￿''

Abbreviation for double-sided/ double-density.

'6￿+'

Abbreviation for double-sided/ high-density.

'7(

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 com- munications equipment (DCE) device, such as a modem.

(&&

Abbreviation for error checking and correction.

Abbreviation for Extended Capabilities Port.

('2

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.

((3520

Acronym for electrically erasable pro- grammable read-only memory.

(*$

Abbreviation for enhanced graphics adapter.

(,6$

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

To avoid a configuration conflict when in- stalling an EISA expansion card, you must use the EISA Configuration Utility. This utility allows you to specify which expan- sion slot contains the card and obtains information about the card’s required
