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.

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.
