Hot Swappable
Describes hardware (like hard drives or USB devices) that can be removed or added without shutting down the computer.
Hot Swapping
The process of replacing or adding components (e.g., drives or peripherals) while the system is powered on and running.
HTML
(HyperText Markup Language). The standard language for creating web pages, used to structure content with tags like <html>, <body>, and <p>.
HTTP
(HyperText Transfer Protocol). A protocol for transferring web content over the internet, used by browsers to load websites (non-encrypted).
HTTPS
(HTTP Secure). An encrypted version of HTTP that uses SSL/TLS to secure data transmission, commonly used for safe web browsing.
Hub
A basic networking device that broadcasts data to all connected devices, without filtering or routing (Layer 1 of OSI model).
Hybrid
Refers to a combination of technologies or systems, such as a hybrid device (tablet + laptop) or hybrid drive (HDD + SSD).
Hybrid Cloud
A cloud computing model that combines public and private clouds, allowing data and apps to move between them for flexibility.
Hyper-Threading
An Intel CPU technology that allows a single physical core to act like two logical cores, improving multitasking performance.
Hypervisor
Software that creates and runs virtual machines (VMs) by allowing multiple OSes to share a single physical host.
I/O
(Input/Output). Refers to the communication between a system and external devices, like keyboards (input) and monitors (output).
IaaS
(Infrastructure as a Service). A cloud service model where users rent virtualized computing resources (like servers and storage) instead of owning hardware.
iCloud
Apple’s cloud storage and services platform used for syncing data across Apple devices, like photos, contacts, and backups.
ID Badge
A physical identification card often with RFID or barcode tech, used for access control and verifying user identity.
IDE
(Integrated Drive Electronics). An older interface standard for connecting hard drives and optical drives to a motherboard. Replaced by SATA in modern systems.
Identify the Problem
The first step in troubleshooting, where you gather information, question the user, and observe symptoms to define the issue.
IEC 320 Connector
A standard power connector used for PC power supplies and monitors, typically with a 3-prong C13 cable and C14 socket.
IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). An organization that sets technology and networking standards, such as Ethernet (802.3) and Wi-Fi (802.11).
IEEE 802.11
The family of Wi-Fi standards for wireless networking, including variants like 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, each with different speeds and frequencies.
Image Deployment
The process of distributing a pre-configured system image (OS, drivers, apps) to multiple computers for fast setup or cloning.
Image File
A single file containing a complete copy of a drive or partition, used for backups or system deployment (e.g., .iso, .img).
Image Level Backup
A backup that captures an entire drive or partition, including the OS and settings—useful for full system restores.
IMAP4
(Internet Message Access Protocol v4). An email protocol that syncs email between the server and client, allowing access from multiple devices while keeping messages stored on the server.
IMEI
(International Mobile Equipment Identity). A unique number assigned to mobile devices, used to identify and track phones on cellular networks, often for blacklisting stolen devices.
