SMART

Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) is an emerging technology that provides near-term failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART is enabled the hard drive monitors predetermined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If a failure is likely to occur. SMART makes a status report available so that the LifeBook can prompt the user to back up the data on the drive. Naturally not all failures are predictable. SMART predictability is limited to those attributes which the drive can self-monitor. In those cases where SMART can give advance warning, a considerable amount of precious data can be saved.

SRAM

Static random access memory. A specific technology of making RAM which does not require periodic data refreshing.

Status Indicator

A display which reports the condition of some portion of your hardware. On your notebook this is an LCD screen just above the keyboard.

Stereo (audio)

A system using two channels to process sound from two different sources.

Stroke (keyboard)

The amount of travel of a key when it is pressed from resting to fully depressed.

Suspend

To make inoperative for a period of time. Your notebook uses various suspension states to reduce power consumption and prolong the charge of your battery.

SVGA

Super VGA.

S-Video

Super Video. A component video system for driving a TV or computer monitor.

System Clock

An oscillator of fixed precise frequency which synchronizes the operation of the system and is counted to provide time of day and date.

TFT

Thin Film Transistor - A technology for flat display panels which uses a thin film matrix of transistors to control each pixel of the display screen individually.

UL

Underwriters Laboratories - An independent organization that tests and certifies the electrical safety of devices.

VGA

Video Graphics Array. A video display standard originally introduced by IBM with the PS/2 series of personal computers.
