Dell PowerEdge 1600SC - Manual (Page 30)

Abbreviation for enhanced integrated drive electronics. EIDE devices add one or more of the following enhancements to the traditional IDE standard:
l Data transfer rates of up to 16 MBps
l Support for drives other than just hard drives, such as CD and tape drives
l Support for hard drives with capacities greater than 528 MB
l Support for up to two controllers, each with up to two devices attached
EMC
Abbreviation for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
EMI
Abbreviation for electromagnetic interference.
EMM
Abbreviation for expanded memory manager. A utility that uses extended memory to emulate expanded memory on systems.
EMS
Abbreviation for Expanded Memory Specification.
EPROM
Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory.
ESD
Abbreviation for electrostatic discharge.
expanded memory
A technique for accessing RAM above 1 MB. To enable expanded memory on your system, you must use an EMM. You should configure your system to support
expanded memory only if you run application programs that can use (or require) expanded memory.
expansion bus
Your system contains an expansion bus that allows the microprocessor to communicate with controllers for peripheral devices, such as a network card or an
internal modem.
expansion-card connector
A connector on the system board or riser board for plugging in an expansion card.
extended memory
RAM above 1 MB. Most software that can use it, such as the Microsoft® Windows® operating system, requires that extended memory be under the control of
an XMM.
external cache memory
A RAM cache using SRAM chips. Because SRAM chips operate at several times the speed of DRAM chips, the microprocessor can retrieve data and instructions
faster from external cache memory than from RAM.
