jumper - Small blocks on a circuit board with two or more pins emerging from them. Plastic plugs containing a wire fit down over the pins. The wire connects the pins and creates a circuit, providing a simple and reversible method of changing the circuitry in a board. K - Kilo-; 1000. Kb - Kilobit(s); 1024 bits. KB - Kilobyte(s); 1024 bytes. Kbps - Kilobit(s) per second. KBps - Kilobyte(s) per second. kg - Kilogram(s); 1000 grams. kHz - Kilohertz. KVM - Keyboard/video/mouse. KVM refers to a switch that allows selection of the system from which the video is displayed and for which the keyboard and mouse are used. LAN - Local area network.

LED - Light-emitting diode. An electronic device that lights up when a current is passed through it. LGA - Land grid array. local bus - On a system with local-bus expansion capability, certain peripheral devices (such as the video adapter circuitry) can be designed to run much faster than they would with a traditional expansion bus. See also bus. LOM - LAN on motherboard. LVD - Low voltage differential. m - Meter(s). mA - Milliampere(s). MAC address - Media Access Control address. Your system's unique hardware number on a network. mAh - Milliampere-hour(s). Mb - Megabit(s); 1,048,576 bits. MB - Megabyte(s); 1,048,576 bytes.
