SE (single-ended)
A type of SCSI signaling that allows a maximum transfer rate of 40 MB/s. Conforms to the
Wide-Ultra SCSI standard. Now being phased out in favor of LVD technology.
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology)
Technology co-developed with the hard drive industry that provides warning of imminent
drive failure. This feature makes it possible for HP to offer Pre-Failure Warranty replacement
of hard drives. S.M.A.R.T. supersedes the drive parameter tracking feature that was
previously used for this purpose because the self-monitoring routines used in S.M.A.R.T. are
more accurate than the drive parameter tracking tests. The self-monitoring routines are
customized for that specific drive type and have direct access to internal performance,
calibration, and error measurements.
SmartStart
An abbreviation for the SmartStart and Support Software CD. A collection of software for
updating system drivers, configuring arrays or a system, diagnosing problems with arrays or a
system, and updating firmware for the system or options. (The latest version of any of these
software packages can be obtained by downloading a SoftPaq file from the HP website.)
SmartStart can also be used to create or update the system partition on your hard drive.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Governs network management and the monitoring of network devices and functions.
SoftPaq file
A compressed, self-extracting executable file available on the HP website that contains the
latest version of a particular support software package. Can be downloaded to diskettes or
directly to a hard drive.
