APPENDIX SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) High speed parallel interface defined by the X3T9.2 committee of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for connecting many peripheral devices. SMB (System Management Bus) The SMB is used for managing smart batteries, reading SDRAM configuration information, and other miscellaneous system functions. SMI (System Management Interrupt) A non-maskable interrupt that causes the system to enter SMM. SMM functions include power management, USB legacy keyboard control, security, hot keys, and thermal monitoring. SMM (System Management Mode) This is the mode of operation while SMI is active. South Bridge The PCI to ISA interface, also contains many legacy devices. System Disk A system disk contains the core file of an operating system and is used to boot up the operating system. UltraDMA/33 UltraDMA/33 is a new specification to improve IDE transfer rates. Unlike traditional PIO mode, which only uses the rising edge of IDE command signal to transfer data, UltraDMA/33 uses both rising edge and falling edge. Hence, the data transfer rate is double of the PIO mode 4 or DMA mode 2. (16.6MB/ s x2 = 33MB/s). USB (Universal Serial Bus) A new 4-pin serial peripheral bus that allows plug and play computer peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem/ISDN to be automatically configured when they are attached physically without having to install drivers or reboot. With USB, the traditional complex cables from back panel of your PC can be eliminated. 92
