GLOSSARY

Computer system - The complete computer comprises the central processing unit (CPU), memory and related electronics (main cabinet), all the peripheral
devices connected to it, and its operating system. Computer systems fall into two broad divisions: clients and servers. Client machines
fall into three categories from low to high end: laptop, desktop, and workstation. Servers range from small to large: low-end,
midrange, and mainframes.
Computer network - A collection of computers and other hardware interconnected by communication channels that allow sharing of resources and
(or network) information. Where at least one process in one device is able to send/receive data to/from at least one process residing in a remote
device, then the two devices are said to be in a network. It is a group of devices connected to each other. Networks may be classified
into a wide variety of characteristics, such as the medium used to transport the data, communications protocol used, scale, topology,
benefit, and organizational scope.
Configuration - The makeup of a system; to "configure" is to choose options in order to create a custom system. “Configurability” is a system’s
ability to be changed or customized.
Connector - Any plug and socket that links two devices together. Although taken for granted and rarely in the limelight, connectors are a huge
industry, and the quality of these components is more critical than most people would imagine. When not designed or constructed
properly, they often become the weakest element in an electronic system.
Display adapter - A plug-in card in a desktop computer that converts the images created in the computer to the electronic signals required by the
monitor. It determines the maximum resolution, refresh rate, and number of colors that can be displayed, which the monitor must also
be able to support. On many PC motherboards, the display adapter circuits are built into the chipset, and an accelerated graphics port
(AGP) card or peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card is not required.
Expansion board - A printed circuit board that plugs into an expansion slot and extends the computer's capability to control a peripheral device. All the
boards (cards) that plug into a computer's bus are expansion boards, such as display adapters, disk controllers, network adapters, and
sound cards.
Expansion bus - An input/output bus typically comprises a series of slots on the motherboard. Expansion boards (cards) are plugged into the bus.
Inudstry standard architecture (ISA) and PCI are the common expansion buses in a personal computer (PC).
Graphical User Interface - A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons, and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and
change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. GUIs have become the standard
way users interact with a computer, and the major GUIs are the Windows and Mac interfaces along with Motif for Unix and the GNOME
and KDE interfaces for Linux.
LAN local area network) - A computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building
using network media. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area networks (WANs), include their usually higher data-
transfer rates, smaller geographic area, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.
Motherboard - Also called the “system board,” it is the main printed circuit board in an electronic device, which contains sockets that accept additional
boards. In a desktop computer, the motherboard contains the CPU, chipset, PCI bus slots, AGP slot, memory sockets, and controller
circuits for the keyboard, mouse, disks, and printer. It may also have built-in controllers for modem, sound, display and network,
obviating the need to plug in a card.
Networks - see computer network
Operating system - The master control program that runs the computer; the first program loaded when the computer is turned on, its main part, the
“kernel,” resides in memory at all times. The operating system sets the standards for all application programs that run in the computer.
The applications “talk to” the operating system for all user interfaces and file management operations.
Peripheral - Any hardware device connected to a computer, such as a monitor, keyboard, printer, disk, tape, graphics tablet, scanner, joy stick,
paddle, or mouse
Server - A computer system in a network that is shared by multiple users. Servers come in all sizes from x86-based PCs to IBM mainframes. A
server may have a keyboard, monitor and mouse directly attached, or one keyboard, monitor and mouse may connect to any number
of servers via a KVM switch. Servers may be also be accessed only through a network connection as well.
Sound card - Also called a “sound board” or “audio adapter,” it is a computer expansion board that records and plays back sound, providing inputs
from a microphone or other sound source and outputs to speakers or an external amplifier. The de facto standard for sound card
compatibility in PCs is Creative Labs’ Sound Blaster.
User Interface - All graphics based today, the user interface includes the windows, menus and method of interaction between you and the computer.
Prior to the Mac, Windows, and Motif (UNIX) interfaces, all interaction was based on commands entered by the user. Operating
systems may support optional interfaces and allow a new shell, or skin, to be used instead.
Virus - Software used to infect a computer; after the virus code is written, it is buried within an existing program. Once that program is
executed, the virus code is activated and attaches copies of itself to other programs in the system. Infected programs copy the virus to
other programs.
WAN (wide area network) - A network that covers a broad area (i.e., any telecommunications network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national
boundaries) using private or public network transports. Business and government entities utilize WANs to relay data among employees,
clients, buyers, and suppliers from various geographical locations. In essence, this mode of telecommunication allows a business to
effectively carry out its daily function regardless of location.
WEEE Directive - A European Union (EU) directive on the prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and, in addition, the reuse,
recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste. The directive, which became European Law
in 2003, also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic
equipment, e.g., producers, distributors, and consumers and, in particular, those operators directly involved in the treatment of waste
electrical and electronic equipment.
