HP 441877-00B manual Acpi

•MAC Address—The individual address of the device as stored in the EEPROM

•I/O—The I/O address for PCI access determined by the software. On cards without an I/O address, all zeros are displayed

•Memory—The memory map PCI access address determined by the software

•Slot—The slot number reported by the BIOS. The number displayed is the BIOS version of the PCI slot number. Therefore, actual positions of adapters within slots may not be displayed as expected. Slots are not always enumerated in an obvious manner, and the diagnostics will only report what is indicated by the BIOS.

Boot agent glossary

This glossary defines terms, abbreviations, and acronyms that apply directly to the Intel® Boot Agent.

Term / Abbreviation	Definition
/ Acronym
ACPI	Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
AOL	Alert on LAN
API	Application Program Interface. The specific method prescribed by an OS or an
	application program by which a programmer writing an application program can
	make requests of the operating system or the application.
BAID	BIOS Aware IPL Device. The BIOS contains all code required to IPL from the device.
BAR	Base Address Register
BBS	BIOS Boot Specification
BC	BaseCode. The PXE BaseCode, included as a core protocol in EFI, is comprised of a
	simple network stack (UDP/IP) and a few common network protocols (DHCP,
	Bootserver Discovery, TFTP) that are useful for remote booting machines.
BCV	Boot Connection Vector. A field in the Plug and Play (PnP) header for a device with
	an associated option ROM.
BEV	Boot Entry Vector. A field in the Plug and Play (PnP) Header of a device with an
	associated option ROM. PXE is implemented as a BEV option ROM.
BINL	Binary Image Negotiation Layer
BIOS	Basic Input/Output System. The program a personal computer's microprocessor uses
	to get the computer system started after you turn it on. It also manages data flow
	between the computer's OS and attached devices.
BIS	Boot Integrity Services
BOOTP	Bootstrap Protocol. A legacy remote booting protocol developed originally for use
	with UNIX. Used as Linux's server side PXE host software. Runs a Daemon once
	installed.
DDIM	Device Driver Initialization Model
DHCP	Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. An industry standard internet protocol defined
	by the IETF. DHCP was defined to dynamically provide communications-related
	configuration values such as network addresses to network client computers at boot
	time. DHCP is specified by IETF RFCs 1534, 2131, and 2132.
EEPROM	Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
ESD	Electro-Static Discharge
Flash	A high-density, truly non-volatile, high-performance, read-write memory solution, also
	characterized by low power consumption, extreme ruggedness, and high reliability.
