ITE8 Terms - I through R

i.LINK

• A touchscreen that can be removed from a laptop and used like a tablet.
• A card that can be added to a computer to provide additional expansion slots for more expansion cards.
• A high-speed communication bus that is platform independent. Also known as FireWire or IEEE 1394.
• A Windows utility that provides a high level of information about how a system is operating, including displaying what programs are running on the computer, the overall resource usage, and detailed statistics about each process.

I/O card

• A technology that is commonly used for mobile devices and digital cameras that can also be found in some laptops. Whereas LCD and LED screens use backlights to illuminate their pixels, OLED pixels produce their own light.
• The term used to describe the official procedures employed by those who are qualified to collect evidence.
• Another term for an expansion card.
• Proposals for future projects and project approvals, meeting presentations and minutes, and budgets and purchasing records.

IDE ribbon cable

• A Windows utility that monitors programs on the computer and warns users when actions might present threats to the computer.
• A cell phone generation that supports web browsing, short audio and video clips, games, and application and ring tone downloads.
• A type of cable used for floppy drives, hard drives, and optical drives.
• An output device that creates hard copies of files.

Identification

• A step in the change management process that defines the change request.
• A material that increases the efficiency of heat transfer from the CPU to the heat sink by filling any tiny gaps between the two.
• A pair of insulated wires wrapped together in a regular spiral pattern to control the effects of electrical noise.
• A smaller version of the fiber-optic SC connector, sometimes called a local connector.

Identification and Authentication Policies

• A security policy item that specifies authorized persons who may access network resources and that outlines verification procedures.
• A network that connects multiple networks in geographically separated locations, with access contracted from a service provider.
• A folder that is located within another folder.
• An authentication code that is sent to a previously registered email address or phone number for use in multifactor authentication.

IEEE 1284

• A high-speed slot for attaching an AGP video card. AGP has been superseded by PCI.
• The standard for parallel printer ports.
• An installation method in which no prompts or other information is displayed. It is based on an answer file that contains simple text that instructs Windows Setup how to configure and install the OS.
• Computer technology that creates a simulated, three-dimensional environment that a user feels immersed in and can manipulate.

IEEE 1394

• The error-checking bit in the type of RAID that provides basic error checking and fault tolerance.
• A process that involves checking the integrity of files and folders by scanning the hard disk surface for physical errors.
• A high-speed communication bus that is platform independent. Also known as i.LINK.
• A service provided using the protocols agreed upon according to the type of service requested.

IEEE 802.11i/WPA2

• A connector form factor that is commonly used to connect printer and external hard drives. It has a square shape with beveled exterior corners and an extra notch at the top.
• A device that provides network access to wireless devices, such as laptops and tablets. A wireless AP uses radio waves to communicate with the wireless NIC in the devices and other wireless access points.
• An unpowered or powered device commonly used to collect incoming cable runs from the various networking devices throughout a facility.
• The industry standard for securing WLANs.

image backup

• One of the common levels of user access to BIOS, in which all screens and settings are available, except the supervisor password setting.
• A backup done for disaster recovery purposes that records all the information stored on the computer at the time the image is created.
• device that can be used to distribute incoming traffic to multiple devices, typically servers.
• File Transfer Protocol; a protocol used to transfer files between computers that is considered insecure.

image-based internal partition installation

• A Windows image stored on an internal (often hidden) partition that can be used to restore Windows to its original state when it was shipped from the factory.
• A form of memory that quadruples DDR3 maximum storage capacity and consumes less power than DDR3, at 1.2V.
• A command used to display a list of the processes that are currently running on the local computer or on a remote computer.
• A computer slot that allows connections to the system bus for the various types of adapter cards, allowing expansion of system performance.
