Industry Standard Architecture (ISA). A bus<br />
standard for IBM compatibles that allows components to<br />
be added as cards plugged into standard expansion<br />
slots. ISA was originally introduced in the IBM PC/XT<br />
with an 8-bit data path. It was later expanded to permit<br />
a 16-bit data path when IBM introduced the PC/AT.<br />
initial program load (IPL). The part of the boot<br />
sequence during which a computer system copies the<br />
operating system kernel into main memory and runs it.<br />
integrated circuit (IC). Also known as a chip. A<br />
microelectronic semiconductor device that consists of<br />
many interconnected transistors and other components.<br />
ICs are constructed on a small rectangle cut from a<br />
silicon crystal or other semiconductor material. The<br />
small size of these circuits allows high speed, low<br />
power dissipation, and reduced manufacturing cost<br />
compared with board-level integration.<br />
integrated drive electronics (IDE). Also known as an<br />
Advanced Technology Attachment Interface (ATA). A<br />
disk drive interface based on the 16-bit IBM PC ISA in<br />
which the controller electronics reside on the drive itself,<br />
eliminating the need for a separate adapter card.<br />
integrated services digital network (ISDN). A digital<br />
end-to-end telecommunication network that supports<br />
multiple services including, but not limited to, voice and<br />
data. ISDNs are used in public and private network<br />
architectures.<br />
interrupt request (IRQ). A type of input found on<br />
many processors that causes the processor to suspend<br />
normal instruction execution temporarily and start<br />
executing an interrupt handler routine. Some processors<br />
have several interrupt request inputs that allow different<br />
priority interrupts.<br />
Internet Protocol address. The unique 32-bit address<br />
that specifies the location of each device or workstation<br />
on the Internet. For example, 9.67.97.103 is an IP<br />
address.<br />

isolated group. A collection of isolated devices not<br />
connected to the SAN but discovered by the<br />
SANavigator tool. The Isolated Group displays with a<br />
gray background near the bottom of the Physical and<br />
Data Path Maps.<br />
Java Runtime Environment (JRE). A subset of the<br />
Java Development Kit (JDK) for end users and<br />
developers who want to redistribute the Java Runtime<br />
Environment (JRE). The JRE consists of the Java virtual<br />
machine, the Java Core Classes, and supporting files.<br />
JRE. See Java Runtime Environment.<br />
label. A discovered or user entered property value that<br />
is displayed underneath each device in the Physical and<br />
Data Path Maps.<br />
LAN. See local area network.<br />
LBA. See logical block addressing.<br />
local area network (LAN). A computer network<br />
located on a user’s premises within a limited geographic<br />
area.<br />
logical block addressing (LBA). A hard disk sector<br />
addressing scheme in which the addressing conversion<br />
is performed by the hard disk firmware. LBA is used on<br />
all SCSI hard disks and on ATA-2 conforming IDE hard<br />
disks.<br />
logical unit number (LUN). An identifier used on a<br />
small computer systems interface (SCSI) bus to<br />
distinguish among up to eight devices (logical units) with<br />
the same SCSI ID.<br />
loop address. The unique ID of a node in fibre<br />
channel loop topology sometimes referred to as a Loop<br />
ID.<br />
loop group. A collection of SAN devices that are<br />
interconnected serially in a single loop circuit. Loop<br />
Groups are discovered by the SANavigator tool and<br />
displayed with a gray background on the Physical and<br />
Data Path Maps.<br />
loop port (FL_Port). An N-Port or F-Port that supports<br />
arbitrated loop functions associated with an arbitrated<br />
loop topology.<br />
LUN. See logical unit number.<br />
man pages. In UNIX-based operating systems, online<br />
documentation for operating-system commands,<br />
subroutines, system calls, file formats, special files,<br />
stand-alone utilities, and miscellaneous facilities.<br />
Invoked by the man command.<br />
management information base (MIB). The<br />
information that is on an agent. It is an abstraction of<br />
configuration and status information.<br />
MCA. See micro channel architecture.<br />

micro channel architecture (MCA). IBM’s proprietary<br />
bus that is used in high-end PS/2 personal computers.<br />
Micro Channel is designed for multiprocessing and<br />
functions as either a 16-bit or 32-bit bus. It eliminates<br />
potential conflicts that arise when installing new<br />
peripheral devices.
