termination on these devices by changing jumper or switch settings on the devices or by changing settings in the configuration software for the devices.

TOE — TCP/IP offload engine.

U-DIMM — An unregistered (unbuffered) DDR3 memory module.

uplink port — A port on a network hub or switch used to connect to other hubs or switches without requiring a crossover cable.

UPS — Uninterruptible power supply. A battery-powered unit that automatically supplies power to your system in the event of an electrical failure.

USB — Universal Serial Bus. A USB connector provides a single connection point for multiple USB-compliant devices, such as mice and keyboards. USB devices can be connected and disconnected while the system is running.

USB memory key — See memory key.

utility — A program used to manage system resources—memory, disk drives, or printers, for example.

V— Volt(s).

VAC — Volt(s) alternating current.

VDC — Volt(s) direct current.

VGA — Video graphics array. VGA and SVGA are video standards for video adapters with greater resolution and color display capabilities than previous standards.

video adapter — The logical circuitry that provides (in combination with the monitor) your system’s video capabilities. A video adapter may be integrated into the system board or may be an expansion card that plugs into an expansion slot.

video memory — Most VGA and SVGA video adapters include memory chips in addition to your system’s RAM. The amount of video memory installed primarily influences the number of colors that a program can display (with the appropriate video drivers and monitor capabilities).

video resolution — Video resolution (800 x 600, for example) is expressed as the number of pixels across by the number of pixels up and down. To display a program at a specific graphics resolution, you must install the appropriate video drivers and your monitor must support the resolution.

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.
