[. . . ] VGA (Video Graphics Array): the PC video display standard V-SYNC: controls the vertical scanning properties of the monitor. ZCR (Zero Channel RAID): PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into the board and locking it into place. 38 http://www. tyan. com Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first.
