Disk Drive Bay A (metal) frame affixed inside the server or a standalone cabinet that is designed to accept a hard disk drive (or other, similarly sized device, e.g. CR-ROM drive, etc.). Disk Drive Cage A rack of disk drive bays in the server or a standalone cabinet.
  • Page 270 CHAPTER 14 Glossary Parity Checking A method of checking the integrity of transmitted or stored data. The number of ones or zeroes in a binary data segment is used to calculate a parity bit which is appended to that piece of data. If the same calculation at a later time produces a parity bit that does not match the previously assigned parity bit, we can know that the value of at least one of the bits has changed, and the data can be rejected as corrupt.
