Abbreviation for interrupt request. A signal that data is about to be sent to or received by a peripheral travels by an IRQ line to the microprocessor. Each peripheral connection must be assigned an IRQ number. For example, the first serial port in your computer (COM1) is assigned to IRQ4 by default. Two devices can share the same IRQ assignment, but you cannot operate both devices simultaneously. Acronym for Industry-Standard Architecture. A 16-bit expansion bus design. The expansion-card connectors in an ISA computer are also compatible with 8-bit ISA expansion cards. Abbreviation for information technology equipment. Abbreviation for kilohertz, 1,000 hertz. Acronym for local area network. A LAN system is usually confined to the same building or a few nearby buildings, with all equipment linked by wiring dedicated specifically to the LAN. Abbreviation for pound(s). Abbreviation for liquid crystal display. A low-power display often used for notebook computers. An LCD consists of a liquid crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. An electric current causes each crystal to act like a shutter that can open to allow light past or close to block the light. Acronym for Japanese Electronic Industry Development Association. Abbreviation for kilo-, indicating 1,000. Abbreviation for kilobyte(s), 1,024 bytes. Abbreviation for kilobyte(s) per second. Abbreviation for kilobit(s), 1,024 bits. Abbreviation for light-emitting diode. An electronic device that lights up when a current is passed through it. Acronym for low insertion force. Some computers use LIF sockets and connectors to allow devices such as the microprocessor chip to be installed or removed with minimal stress to the device. Acronym for Lotus/Intel/Microsoft. LIM usually refers to version 4.0 of the EMS. Abbreviation for kilobit(s) per second. Abbreviation for load number. A command requiring that you press multiple keys at the same time. For example, you can reboot your computer by pressing the key combination. Abbreviation for kilogram(s), 1,000 grams. On a computer 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. Some local-bus designs allow peripherals to run at the same speed and with the same width data path as the computer's microprocessor. 8 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide

On a computer 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.
Some local-bus designs allow peripherals
to run at the same speed and with the
same width data path as the computer’s
microprocessor.
