system board — 
The main circuit board in your computer. Also known as the motherboard
 
 
system setup program — 
A utility that serves as an interface between the computer hardware and the operating system. System setup allows you to 
configure user-selectable options in the BIOS, such as date and time or system password. Unless you understand what effect the settings have on the 
computer, do not change the settings for this program. 
 
 
system tray — 
See notification area
 
 
 
TAPI — 
telephony application programming interface — Enables Windows programs to operate with a wide variety of telephony devices, including voice, data, 
fax, and video. 
 
 
text editor — 
A program used to create and edit files that contain only text; for example, Windows Notepad uses a text editor. Text editors do not usually 
provide word wrap or formatting functionality (the option to underline, change fonts, and so on). 
 
 
travel module — 
A plastic device designed to fit inside the module bay of a portable computer to reduce the weight of the computer. 
 
 
 
UPS — 
uninterruptible power supply — A backup power source used when the electrical power fails or drops to an unacceptable voltage level. A UPS keeps a 
computer running for a limited amount of time when there is no electrical power. UPS systems typically provide surge suppression and may also provide 
voltage regulation. Small UPS systems provide battery power for a few minutes to enable you to shut down your computer. 
 
 
USB — 
universal serial bus — A hardware interface for a low-speed device such as a USB-compatible keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, set of speakers, 
printer, broadband devices (DSL and cable modems), imaging devices, or storage devices. Devices are plugged directly in to a 4-pin socket on your computer 
or into a multi-port hub that plugs in to your computer. USB devices can be connected and disconnected while the computer is turned on, and they can also be 
daisy-chained together. 
 
 
UTP — 
unshielded twisted pair — Describes a type of cable used in most telephone networks and some computer networks. Pairs of unshielded wires are 
twisted to protect against electromagnetic interference, rather than relying on a metal sheath around each pair of wires to protect against interference. 
 
 
UXGA — 
ultra extended graphics array — A video standard for video cards and controllers that supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. 
 
 
 
video controller — 
The circuitry on a video card or on the system board (in computers with an integrated video controller) that provides the video 
capabilities—in combination with the monitor—for your computer. 
 
 
video memory — 
Memory that consists of memory chips dedicated to video functions. Video memory is usually faster than system memory. The amount of 
video memory installed primarily influences the number of colors that a program can display. 
 
 
video mode — 
A mode that describes how text and graphics are displayed on a monitor. Graphics-based software, such as Windows operating systems, 
displays in video modes that can be defined as x horizontal pixels by y vertical pixels by z colors. Character-based software, such as text editors, displays in 
video modes that can be defined as x columns by y rows of characters. 
 
 
video resolution — 
See resolution
 
 
virus — 
A program that is designed to inconvenience you or to destroy data stored on your computer. A virus program moves from one computer to another 
through an infected disk, software downloaded from the Internet, or e-mail attachments. When an infected program starts, its embedded virus also starts.
