group - As it relates to DMI, a group is a data structure that defines common information, or attributes, about a manageable component. guarding - A type of data redundancy in which a set of physical drives stores data and an additional drive stores parity data. See also mirroring, striping, and RAID. h - Hexadecimal. A base-16 numbering system, often used in programming to identify addresses in the system's RAM and I/O memory addresses for devices. In text, hexadecimal numbers are often followed by h. headless system - A system or device that functions without having a keyboard, mouse, or monitor attached. Normally, headless systems are managed over a network using an Internet browser. host adapter - A host adapter implements communication between the system's bus and the controller for a peripheral device. (Hard-drive controller subsystems include integrated host adapter circuitry.) To add a SCSI expansion bus to your system, you must install or connect the appropriate host adapter. Hz - Hertz. I/O - Input/output. A keyboard is an input device, and a monitor is an output device. In general, I/O activity can be differentiated from computational activity. ID - Identification. IDE - Integrated drive electronics. A standard interface between the system board and storage devices. integrated mirroring - Provides simultaneous physical mirroring of two drives. Integrated mirroring functionality is provided by the system's hardware. See also mirroring. internal processor cache - An instruction and data cache built into the processor. IP - Internet Protocol. IPX - Internet package exchange. 182 Glossary
