ESDLT 600 Product Manual

Device	According to the SCSI specification, multiple SCSI devices can
	be connected to a single SCSI bus. Each SCSI device contains a
	SCSI ID number that can be set in the range 0 to 15.
Device Driver	A low-level (usually kernel-mode) operating system component
	that enables a PC to communicate with peripheral devices such as
	printers, CD-ROMs, and tape drives. Each kind of device
	requires a different driver.
Differential	A term referring to the electrical characteristics of the signal used
	on the SCSI bus interface. Differential signals minimize the
	effect of common mode signal noise and allow the SCSI bus to
	operate reliably over greater distances at a higher speed.
DLTSage	A suite of predictive and preventive maintenance diagnostics
	software, sold and supported by Quantum Corporation.
DLZ	Digital Lempel-Ziv 1 Algorithm. Named after Abraham Lempel
	and Jacob Ziv. A data compression technique used in all SDLT
	tape drives.

E

EEPROM	Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An
	integrated circuit memory chip that can store programs and data
	in a non-volatile state. These devices store firmware in DLT and
	SDLT tape drives, and can be erased and reprogrammed with
	new data.
EIM	Electronic Interface Module. The SDLT EIM consists of two
	major boards—the Integrated Controller Module (ICM) board
	and a separate Host Interface Module (HIM) board.
Encoding	(n.) Characters (or bytes) of information converted to magnetic
	patterns on the media. (v.) The process of converting to the
	desired pattern.
EOD	End of Data. Location on media where the last session stopped.
EOM or EOT	End of Media or End of Tape. Logical EOM allows space to
	complete a write operation; physical EOM signifies that the
	media is completely used.
Erase	The removal of data from media.
