Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Hot-swap
- Hot-swap (or hot-swapping) means connecting, disconnecting or replacing a component such as a power source, battery, drive or module while the rest of the system keeps running. It matters where equipment must stay operational without being powered down, and for power supplies it often needs extra circuitry to manage the inrush current or voltage dips that a swap can cause.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
