An instruction and data cache built in to the processor. The Intel Pentium proces- sor includes a 16-KB internal cache, which is set up as an 8-KB read-only instruction ,3;cache and an 8-KB read/write data cache.

Acronym for internetwork packet ,54exchange.

Abbreviation for interrupt request. A sig- nal that data is about to be sent to or received by a peripheral device travels by an IRQ line to the processor. Each periph- eral connection must be assigned an IRQ number. For example, the first serial port in your computer (COM1) is assigned to IRQ4 by default. Two devices can share the same IRQ assignment, but you cannot ,6operate$ both devices simultaneously.

Acronym for Industry-Standard Architec- ture. A 16-bit expansion bus design. The expansion-card connectors in an ISA com- puter are also compatible with 8-bit ISA ,7(expansion cards.

Abbreviation for information technology MXPSHUequipment.

Jumpers are small blocks on a circuit board with two or more pins emerging from them. Plastic plugs containing a wire fit down over the pins. The wire connects the pins and creates a circuit. Jumpers provide a simple and reversible method of changing the circuitry in a printed circuit board.

On a computer with local-bus expansion capability, certain peripheral devices (such as the video adapter circuitry) can be designed to run much faster than they would with a traditional expansion bus. Some local-bus designs allow peripherals to run at the same speed and with the same width data path as the computer’s /37processor3.

The device names for the first through third parallel printer ports on your comput- er are LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3.
