SVGA - Super video graphics array. VGA and SVGA are video standards for video adapters with greater resolution and color display capabilities than previous standards. system board - As the main circuit board, the system board usually contains most of your system's integral components, such as the processor, RAM, controllers for peripherals, and various ROM chips. system configuration information - Data stored in memory that tells a system what hardware is installed and how the system should be configured for operation. system diskette - See bootable diskette. system memory - See RAM. System Setup program - A BIOS-based program that allows you to configure your system's hardware and customize the system's operation by setting features such as password protection. Because the System Setup program is stored in NVRAM, any settings remain in effect until you change them again. system.ini file - A start-up file for the Windows operating system. When you start Windows, it consults the system.ini file to determine a variety of options for the Windows operating environment. Among other things, the system.ini file records which video, mouse, and keyboard drivers are installed for Windows. TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. termination - Some devices (such as the last device at each end of a SCSI cable) must be terminated to prevent reflections and spurious signals in the cable. When such devices are connected in a series, you may need to enable or disable the termination on these devices by changing jumper or switch settings on the devices or by changing settings in the configuration software for the devices. uplink port - A port on a network hub or switch used to connect to other hubs or switches without requiring a crossover cable. UPS - Uninterruptible power supply. A battery-powered unit that automatically supplies power to your system in the event of an electrical failure. Glossary 99
