	NANO-PV-D510A User Manual
AC ’97	Audio Codec 97 (AC’97) refers to a codec standard developed by Intel®
	in 1997.
ACPI	Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an OS-directed
	configuration, power management, and thermal management interface.
AHCI	Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a SATA Host controller
	register-level interface.
ATA	The Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) interface connects storage
	devices including hard disks and CD-ROM drives to a computer.
ARMD	An ATAPI Removable Media Device (ARMD) is any ATAPI device that
	supports removable media, besides CD and DVD drives.
ASKIR	Amplitude Shift Keyed Infrared (ASKIR) is a form of modulation that
	represents a digital signal by varying the amplitude (“volume”) of the
	signal. A low amplitude signal represents a binary 0, while a high
	amplitude signal represents a binary 1.
BIOS	The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is firmware that is first run when
	the computer is turned on and can be configured by the end user
CODEC	The Compressor-Decompressor (CODEC) encodes and decodes digital
	audio data on the system.
CompactFlash®	CompactFlash® is a solid-state storage device. CompactFlash® devices
	use flash memory in a standard size enclosure. Type II is thicker than
	Type I, but a Type II slot can support both types.
CMOS	Complimentary metal-oxide-conductor is an integrated circuit used in
	chips like static RAM and microprocessors.
COM	COM refers to serial ports. Serial ports offer serial communication to
	expansion devices. The serial port on a personal computer is usually a
	male DB-9 connector.
DAC	The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) converts digital signals to analog
	signals.
DDR	Double Data Rate refers to a data bus transferring data on both the rising
	and falling edges of the clock signal.
