switch
On a system board, switches control various circuits or functions in your computer
system. These switches are known as DIP switches; they are normally packaged
in groups of two or more switches in a plastic case. Two common DIP switches
are used on system boards: slide switches and rocker switches. The names of the
switches are based on how the settings (on and off) of the switches are changed.
syntax
The rules that dictate how you must type a command or instruction so that the
system understands it. A variable's syntax indicates its data type.
system board
As the main circuit board, the system board usually contains most of your system's
integral components, such as the following:
• Microprocessor
•RAM
• Controllers for standard peripheral devices, such as the keyboard
• Various ROM chips
Frequently used synonyms for system board are motherboard and logic board.
system memory
System memory is a synonym for 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 such features as password protection
and energy management. Some options in the System Setup program require that
you reboot the system (or the system may reboot automatically) in order to make
a hardware configuration change. Because the System Setup program is stored in
NVRAM, any settings remain in effect until you change them again.
table
In SNMP MIBs, a table is a two dimensional array that describes the variables
that make up a managed object.
TCP/IP
Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A system for
transferring information over a computer network containing dissimilar systems,
such as systems running Windows and UNIX.
