INTEL® SERVER MANAGER 8.40 SERVER GUIDE FOR WINDOWS
File Allocation Table. A common file system supported by most operating systems. FAT is widely
used and requires little overhead, but does not offer many of the features available in more
advanced file systems, such as NTFS or FAT32.
FAT32
File Allocation Table 32-bit. FAT32 supports larger disk sizes (up to 2 terabytes) than the original
FAT. It also uses a smaller cluster size, which reduces the amount of slack space (unused space)
in each cluster.
file system
The portion of an operating system responsible for managing, saving, and retrieving files on a
hard drive or other media. Common file systems include FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3, and
ReiserFS.
FRU
Field Replaceable Unit. On an IPMI-enabled system, a module or component which is typically
replaced in its entirety as part of a field service repair operation.
G
gigahertz (GHz)
One billion cycles per second. A microprocessor's speed (also known as its clock speed), is
measured in gigahertz. Because each computer instruction requires a fixed number of cycles, the
clock speed determines how many instructions the microprocessor can execute in one second. A
microprocessor that runs at 10 GHz executes 10 billion cycles per second.
H
hexadecimal
A base-16 system of counting used to enumerate and provide addresses for many aspects of
computer circuitry, such as memory,
IRQs, and network adapter addresses. The hexadecimal
digits are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. These digits represent the decimal
numbers 0 through 15. After counting to the digit F in hexadecimal, you continue counting in
double digits from 10 to 1F (16–31 in decimal), 20 to 2F (32–47 in decimal), and so forth.
HTTP server
Hypertext Transfer Protocol server. A server computer that stores files, such as HTML Web
pages, and serves those files to HTTP client computers as they are requested.
I
I/O address
A hexadecimal address in base memory used for input and output.
in-band
When a network element (such as a firewall, router, server, and so forth) is being managed by a
wide area or local area network management tool (such as SNMP), it is considered to be “in-
band.” See also
out-of-band.
instrumentation
The executable code that provides CIM management functionality for a particular component.
The instrumentation code is provided by the component manufacturer.
