More USB Terms
HID (Human Interface Device)
Low Speed (LS) USB
As defined by the USB 1.1 Spec, these are devices that don’t pass a lot of data, typically
HID type devices. The data rate is 1.5 Mbit/second. Devices include:
 Mice
 Keyboards
 Gamepads
 UPS systems, etc.
Full Speed (FS) USB
As defined by the USB 1.1 Spec, this is the broadest category of USB devices. The data
rate is 12 Mbit/second, approximately 10BaseT LAN speed. Devices include:
 LAN cards (USB to Ethernet)
 Camera
 Storage devices
 Scanners, etc.
High Speed (HS) USB
As defined by the USB 2.0 Spec, these are the fastest devices that USB currently offers, 14
with a data rate of 480 Mbit/second. Devices include:
©2002 Cypress Semiconductor
More USB Terms (cont.)
Classic speed – another term used for LS and FS / USB 1.1 type traffic
USB 2.0 Hubs
The USB2.0 hub is possibly the most complicated device in USB technology. A hub must
handle LS and FS traffic and possibly HS traffic in both directions, and it must route data to
appropriate devices. USB2.0 hubs operate natively in HS mode. Things to remember are:
 Upstream – in the direction of the Host or Host Controller
 Downstream – away from the Host Controller (outgoing ports)
 Transaction Translator – the processor that converts individual datastreams from
HS to Classic speeds for individual devices.
 Single-TT – One Transaction Translator for the entire hub, meaning all Classic
speed traffic must share one 12 Mbit/second channel.
 Multi-TT - One TT per port, meaning each Classic speed datastream gets full 12
Mbit/second bandwidth.
Chirp
The handshake that a HS device sends upstream to the host to say it is HS capable.
15

Storage Terms
Drive Letter
A logical representation of a physical drive used by Windows. The drive letter assigned to a
drive varies depending upon what other drive letters are assigned on a given system, in
conjunction with what order drives are mounted by the OS.
Drive Label (or Volume Name in Mac)
A logical representation of a physical drive that usually goes in conjunction with a drive letter
in Windows. The Label or volume name stays with a partition of a drive, regardless of the
system that it resides on and what drive letter it is assigned.
The Storage Terms on the following few pages are provided for reference and background
information, since we refer to these terms periodically in the SVTL. They are all
interrelated. It is not important for our purposes to know much about these terms or exactly
what the differences are between them, but more to be aware of the general idea of the
terms.

PIO
Storage Terms (cont.)
Programmed I/O – a protocol in PC architecture for managing IO devices that involves the
CPU in every data transaction. PIO has performance levels 1-4. PIO is a predecessor to
ATA.
ATA
Advanced Technology Attachment – another name (the ANSI name) for IDE. ATA utilizes
DMA for data transfer. Ultra-ATA is a newer, faster version that corresponds to UDMA (see
below for DMA and UDMA). The ATA protocol is defined in performance levels 0-6.
IDE
Integrated Drive Electronics – a protocol to allow the motherboard to communicate with
storage devices directly without involving the CPU, based upon DMA .
ATAPI
AT Attachment Packet Interface – a superset protocol of ATA, allowing CD-ROM and other
non-hard drive devices to communicate via additional commands. ATAPI is part of the
Enhanced IDE (EIDE) interface (also known as ATA-2).
DMA
17
Direct Memory Access – the data transfer protocol that allows ATA and ATAPI
RAM
©2002devices
Cypress Semiconductor
Partition
Storage Terms (cont.)
A logical division of a physical hard drive’s space. A partition creates the appearance of
having multiple physical drives. Three types of partitions are used in the Windows
environment – Primary, Extended and Logical.
 Windows 9X OS’s must be loaded on a Primary partition and will only acknowledge
1 Primary partition (others are hidden by a 9X OS). An Extended partition can be
created after at least one Primary partition exists, but cannot be used by itself – one
or more Logical partitions are created within an Extended partition, each then in
turn can be formatted and used for storage or loading and OS.
 Format
- A way of making a drive’s available space usable and referenceable by the OS
 FAT (File Allocation Table) and FAT32
- A standard for disk formatting. FAT (aka FAT16) formatting can only reference disk drives
that are 2GB or smaller and cannot handle long file names (those other than the 8.3 naming
convention). FAT32 has a 32GB max disk size limitation, however either Windows XP or
ME has changed the FAT32 size limitation to something larger that 32GB. FAT32 can
handle long file names, if the OS supports them.
 NTFS (NT File System)
- Another standard for disk formatting, used only by Windows OS’s based upon NT (a
Windows term, New Technology). NTFS is a more efficient, more secure disk formatting
mechanism. It also supports long file names. Drive sizes of much larger than 32GB are
allowed.

Imaging Terms
What does it mean to create an
Image?
In reference to imaging a PC storage drive, creating an Image is like creating a
snapshot of the exact contents of a drive partition (or entire drive) including all
installed OS’s, applications, files, registry settings, etc. It is an exact, complete
backup of the original drive or partition.
 Drive – Imaging programs can see more than one physical drive
 Source – the drive location or partition to be backed up
 Destination – the drive location or partition to store the Image file(s)

Naming Convention:
In order to select the correct disk image, files need significant labels. Ghost and PQDI
use the 8 character DOS naming convention. For the SVTL, we will use the
following convention: ##OSCCCC where ## is the number of the PC from the list
of PC’s in the SV Test group (such as 07). OS denotes image operating system
and CCCC denotes image application and tool contents.
OS:
2K = Windows 2000;
ME = Windows Millennium
98 = Windows 98 Gold;
SE = Windows 98 SE
XH= Windows XP Home;
XP = Windows XP Pro
Some examples of CCCC:
BASE = no apps, no Office tools, no network; Minimal CLEAN install
APPS = BASE + Non-Window Apps (USB chapter 9 + Acrobat PDF reader + Quick
Time movie player)
OF97 = BASE + APPS + Office Professional 97
OF20 = BASE + APPS + Office Professional 2000
NO97 = BASE + APPS + OF97 + Network communications
NO20 = BASE + APPS + OF20 + Network communications
USB2 = USB2.0 drivers installed (must be at least since 3/22/01)
DEBG=Debug tools installed
OHCI = OHCI drivers installed for Win98SE on otherwise base image

An appropriate name would be “222KBASE.PQI”
