However, when referring to hard-drive capacity, the term is usually rounded to 1,000,000,000 bytes Page mirroring - A type of data redundancy in which a set of physical drives stores data and one or more sets of additional drives stores duplicate copies of the data. Mirroring functionality is provided by software. See also striping and RAID pixel - A single point on a video display. Pixels are arranged in rows and columns to create an image. A video resolution, such as 640 x 480, is expressed as the number of pixels across by the number of pixels up and down SVGA - Super video graphics array. VGA and SVGA are video standards for video adapters with greater resolution and color display capabilities than previous standards termination - Some devices such as the last device at each end of a SCSI cable must be terminated to prevent reflections and spurious signals in the cable. When such devices are connected in a series, you may need to enable or disable the termination on these devices by changing jumper or switch settings on the devices or by changing settings in the configuration software for the devices virtualization - The ability via software to share the resources of a single computer across multiple environments. A single physical system may appear to the user as multiple virtual systems able to host multiple operating systems Glossary Index Page Page Page USB front-panel connectors, 12 internal connector for memory key UEFI Boot Manager entering, 69 main screenUSB key troubleshooting video front-panel connectors, 12 troubleshootingIndex
