Abbreviation for Electromagnetic Compatibility. A connector on the computer's system board for plugging in an expansion card. Abbreviation for electromagnetic interference. Abbreviation for expanded memory manager. A software utility that uses extended memory to emulate expanded memory on computers with an Intel386™ or higher microprocessor. See also conventional memory, expanded memory, extended memory, memory manager, and XMM. Abbreviation for Expanded Memory Specification. See also expanded memory, memory manager, and XMS. RAM above 1 MB. Most software that can use it, such as Windows, requires that extended memory be under the control of an XMM. See also conventional memory, expanded memory, memory manager, and XMM. 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. Abbreviation for Fahrenheit. Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory. Abbreviation for electrostatic discharge. Refer to "Safety Instructions" at the front of your User's Guide for a complete discussion of ESD. Acronym for enhanced small-device interface. A technique for accessing RAM above 1 MB. To enable expanded memory on your computer, 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. See also conventional memory, EMM, extended memory, and memory manager. Your computer contains an expansion bus that allows the microprocessor to communicate with controllers for peripheral devices, such as a network card or an internal modem. Acronym for file allocation table. The file system structure used by MS-DOS to organize and keep track of file storage. The Microsoft Windows NT® operating system can optionally use a FAT file system structure. Abbreviation for Federal Communications Commission. A type of EEPROM chip that can be reprogrammed from a utility on diskette while still installed in a computer; most EEPROM chips can only be rewritten with special programming equipment. To prepare a hard-disk drive or diskette for storing files. An unconditional format deletes all data stored on the disk. The format command in MS-DOS 5.0 or higher includes an option that allows you to unformat a disk, if you have not yet used the disk for file storage. Abbreviation for feet. 6 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide
