Cache memory Cache is very fast, zero-wait-state memory located between the microprocessor and main memory. Cache reduces the average time required by the microprocessor to get the data it needs from the main memory by storing recently accessed data in the cache. 120 Users Manual CardBus CardBus technology enables the computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Hardware in the computer and the Windows operating system provide support for the 32-bit cards. The voltage of 32-bit cards (3. 3 volts) is lower than that of 16-bit cards (5 volts). The 32-bit cards can transmit more data at a time than the 16-bit cards, thus increasing their speed. CMOS memory CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is powered by the CMOS battery. The System Setup settings and other parameters are maintained in CMOS memory. Even when you turn your computer off, the information in CMOS memory is saved. COM ports are the serial ports in your computer. Conventional memory The first 640 KB of system memory. Operating systems and application programs can directly access this memory without using memory-management software. Disk The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer to a floppy disk, hard disk, or RAM disk. Disk cache A software device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM. The application program can then read these copies without accessing the disk. This, in turn, speeds up the performance of the application. A cache is a buffer for transferring disk sectors in and out of RAM. Data stored in a disk cache is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk. DMA (direct memory access) A method of transferring data from a device to memory without having the data pass through the microprocessor. Using DMA can speed up system performance. DPMS Display Power Management Signalling. [. . . ] Consumption of moisture-reducing agents and placing plastic packaging over the head is fatal, especially for children. A-6 Manual Instructions for careful handling Handle with care so as not to damage the data in the hard disk. - Since the hard disk is fragile and sensitive to external conditions, it may be damaged from temperature changes or impact during operation. Take extra care to prevent such damages. - Loss of data due to external conditions or carelessness during use is the user's sole responsibility and the manufacturer shall not be held liable for any compensation.
