HCL: Hardware compatibility List: A list of Hardware which was tested by windows 2000
NTFS (New Technology File system): it is new Technology File system by which we can configure local security and domain security and we can input permission any user individually.
FAT16: 16 bit file allocation Table widely used in DOS, win3x, disadvantage of this system is that it only support partition 2GB , it support almost all operating systems.
FAT32: 32 bit file allocation table first introduced 1996 with windows 1996. this system is that it only support partition as large as 2TB.
windows NT and earlier released of NT does not support FAT32.
ACPI: Advance Configuration and Power Interface: The automatic and dynamic detection of hardware that is installed. the ability to determined what hardware resource are required for the device.
IEEE: Institute of electrical and Electronic engeneers.1394 slandered
which support data transfer at speeds up to 400Mbps.
Hot swap: this is a process by which we can add a new hard drive while the computer on.

UTP ( Unshielded Twisted pair : It has four fair, two pair is use to pass data. it’s maximum length is 100 meter.
Hub : Ethernet hub is called a multiport repeater , it is a physical layer device.
Repeater : This is a network device which amplify the signal as it pass through it.
MAU : Multi Access Unit: it is a network device used in Token ring network.
Switch : Switch is a network device which works at data link layer of OSI model. it is upgraded from hub.
Router : Router connect two network together forming an internetwork. router function at network layer of OSI Model.
Protocol suit : Combination of two Protocol is called protocol suit.
