about a computer environment about a computer environment. For example, using DMI
a program can determine what hardware and expansion boards are installed on a
computer.
GPI - General Purpose Input.
GPO - General Purpose Output.
Lid Switch - A switch that indicates the notebook LCD Panel has been closed and it can
be turned off.
MPEG-2 - Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group of ISO. The term also refers
to the family of digital video compression standards developed by the group. There are
two major MPEG standards : MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. The most common
implementations of the MPEG-1 standard provide a video resolution 352x240 at 30
frames per second(fps). A newer standard, MPEG-2, offers resolution of 720x480 and
1280x720 at 60 fps, with full CD-quality audio.
North Bridge - The CPU to PCI interface, also contains the memory and cache
controllers.
South Bridge - The PCI to ISA interface, also contains many legacy devices.
SMM - System Management Mode, Mode of operation while an SMI is active.
SMI - System Management Interrupt, non-maskable interrupt that causes the system to
enter SMM. SMM functions include power management, USB legacy keyboard control,
security, hot keys, and thermal monitoring.
SMB - System Management Bus, that is used for managing smart batteries, reading
SDRAM configuration information, and other miscel1aneous system function.
TBD -To Be Discussed. The mentioned specification is not final that should be
discussed with related engineers.
Ultra DMA-33 - A protocol developed by Quantum Corporation and Intel that supports
burst mode data transfer rates of 33.3 MBps.
USB - A new external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of 12 MBps. A
single USB port can be used to connect up to 127 peripheral devices, such as mice,
modems, and keyboards. USB also supports Plug-and-Play installation and hot plugging.
