kHz - Kilohertz. KMM - Keyboard/monitor/mouse. 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. A LAN is usually confined to the same building or a few nearby buildings, with all equipment linked by wiring dedicated specifically to the LAN. lb - Pound(s). LCD - Liquid crystal display. LED - Light-emitting diode. An electronic device that lights up when a current is passed through it. Linux - An operating system similar to the UNIX® operating system that runs on a variety of hardware systems. Linux is open source software, which is freely available; however, the full distribution of Linux along with technical support and training are available for a fee from vendors such as Red Hat® Software. 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. 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. However, when referring to hard-drive capacity, the term is often rounded to mean 1,000,000 bytes. Mbps - Megabits per second. MBps - Megabytes per second. MBR - Master boot record. memory address - A specific location, usually expressed as a hexadecimal number, in the system's RAM. memory module - A small circuit board containing DRAM chips that connects to the system board. 146 Glossary
