IP (Internet Protocol Address)
Identification number assigned to each
computer connected to an IP network, such as
the Internet and intranets
IPMI (Intelligent Platform
Management Interface)
Standardized interface specifications
established so that SNMP and server
management software can monitor server
hardware independently of specific hardware
systems and OSs
ISV (Independent Software Vendor)
This application software provider has no
special relationship with a particular hardware
or OS maker.
KVM (KVM interface unit)
Unit used to select the USB interface for
keyboard and mouse, or the VGA interface, for
external output from a partition
LAN (Local Area Network)
Using optical fiber, for example, this network
allows data to be transferred among computers
and printers connected in a facility.
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol)
Protocol used to access directory databases in a
TCP/IP network, such as the Internet and
intranets
LDX (Local Data Xbar)
One of the ASICs developed by Fujitsu for the
PRIMEQUEST-series machine
LED
Abbreviation for a light emitting diode
MAC address (Media Access
C122-B001-02EN
Control Address)
Unique address assigned to each network
interface device, switch, or router mounted on a
network interface card (NIC) or motherboard
Management LAN
This LAN connects the MMB to partitions and
to LANs outside the cabinet so that the
PRIMEQUEST system can be managed.
MIB (Management Information
Base)
Information released by a network device
managed by SNMP in order to post the device
status to an external destination
Middleware
Software that runs under an OS and provides
application software with more advanced and
detailed functions than the OS. It is positioned
between the OS and application software in
terms of its characteristics.
MMB (Management Board)
This server management board is a system
control unit whose tasks include control and
monitoring of cabinet hardware, partition
management, and system initialization.
NIC (Network Interface Controller)
Hardware that supports network functions
NTP (Network Time Protocol)
Standard time information protocol used on the
Internet. Highly precise time information with
consideration of line speeds and load changes
in paths can be obtained with this protocol.
PAL (Physical Abstract Layer)
Firmware that provides platform initialization
and operating system boot functions
