ECC Error Correction Code. Refers to a memory system that has extra bit(s) to support
limited detection/correction of memory errors.
EEPROM Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory
EFI Extensible Firmware Interface. A new hardware/operating system interface for the
BIOS to utilize in the bootup of the system.
EMI Electromagnetic Interference
EMP Emergency Management Port.
EPS External Product Specification
ESB2 Enterprise South Bridge 2
ESD Electro Static Discharge
Event Receiver Term from the Intelligent Management Bus Communications Protocol. Refers to a
device that can receive Event Messages via the Intelligent Management Bus. The
BMC is typically the Event Receiver. The BMC can generate a system interrupt
upon receipt of an Event Message, triggering the system's Critical Event Logging
routines.
FBD Fully buffered DIMM. Also referes to the FBDIMMs High speed serial interface.
FBD Channel One electrical interface to one or more Fully Buffered DDRII DIMM.
FBDIMM Fully Buffered DIMM.
FCC Federal Communications Commission
Firmware Any software that is permanently stored in an integrated circuit and used by the
hardware for basic initialization or operation.
Flash Also Flash ROM. A type of fast write Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM.
FLASH ROM varies from what is typically referred to as EEPROM in that typical
EEPROM is reprogrammable on a per byte basis, while Flash is byte-writable, but
to be re-written must be block erased. The advantages of Flash include fast
read/write speed and significantly lower cost per bit than EEPROM.
FML Fast Management Link.
FNI fast management link network interface
Formset Framework term for display pages, which includes Setup pages.
FRB Fault Resilient Booting. A hardware/firmware method to boot past any fault that
would not prevent that system from otherwise operating.
FRU Field Replaceable Unit. This also refers to an EEPROM device that stores part
number and serial number information about the board.
FSB Front Side Bus. Also known as System Bus. The processor-to-chipset (north
bridge) interface.
FSC Fan Speed Control.
FTM firmware transfer mode
FWH Firmware Hub. Physical storage hardware circuitry for the system firmware/BIOS.
GB Gigabyte. 1024 Megabytes.
GCM3 Generic Communication Module (3
rd
Generation).
GND Ground
GPIO General Purpose Input/Output
GUI Graphical User Interface
GUID Globally Unique Identifier.
Hard Reset A hardware driven reset event in the system that initializes all components and
invalidates caches.
HBA host bus adapter
HDD Hard Disk drive
