optical disk A term synonymous with 5.25-inch magneto-optical disk. There are two types of optical disks: rewritable and write-once. read/write head A part of the disk drive assembly that uses a laser and a magnet to read and write data on the MO disk. rear panel The part of the optical drive that provides SCSI address selection buttons, SCSI and power connections, mode selection switch, on/off switch, and safety, part number and serial number labels. rewritable optical An optical disk technology in which data can be repeatedly written and erased using magneto-optical reading and writing technology. SCSI An acronym for the Small Computer Systems Interface. terminator A resistor array device used for terminating a SCSI bus. A SCSI bus must be terminated at its two physical ends. A peripheral device uses a terminator only if it is at the end of the bus. write-once optical An optical disk technology available on multifunction drives. When a write-once disk is inserted, the drive will write data, but will not write over data that has been previously written. write-protect A method of preventing data from being written to a disk. A write-protect tab is located on both sides of the optical disk cartridge to enable write-protection on one or both surfaces of the disk. Glossary-3

Glossary-3
optical disk
A term synonymous with 5.25-inch magneto-optical disk. There are two types of
optical disks: rewritable and write-once.
read/write head
A part of the disk drive assembly that uses a laser and a magnet to read and write
data on the MO disk.
rear panel
The part of the optical drive that provides SCSI address selection buttons, SCSI
and power connections, mode selection switch, on/off switch, and safety, part
number and serial number labels.
rewritable optical
An optical disk technology in which data can be repeatedly written and erased
using magneto-optical reading and writing technology.
SCSI
An acronym for the Small Computer Systems Interface.
terminator
A resistor array device used for terminating a SCSI bus. A SCSI bus must be ter-
minated at its two physical ends. A peripheral device uses a terminator only if it
is at the end of the bus.
write-once optical
An optical disk technology available on multifunction drives. When a write-once
disk is inserted, the drive will write data, but will not write over data that has
been previously written.
write-protect
A method of preventing data from being written to a disk. A write-protect tab is
located on both sides of the optical disk cartridge to enable write-protection on
one or both surfaces of the disk.
