| E/A | I/O (The complementary tasks of gathering and distributing data. Input is data that is acquired from a device or entered by the user through a device. Output is data that is sent to a device) |
| E/A-Anschluss | I/O port (A channel through which data is transferred between a device and the microprocessor. The port appears to the microprocessor as one or more memory addresses that it can use to send or receive data) |
| E/A-Paketanforderung | I/O request packet (Data structures that drivers use to communicate with each other) |
| E/A-Stapelposition | I/O stack location (The part of an I/O request packet (IRP) that is allocated for each driver in a chain of layered drivers. Each driver owns one of the stack locations in the packet and obtains driver-specific information about what input/output (I/O) operation to perform on the specified device. The driver must use the supplied parameters) |
| E/A-Station | I/E port (A port in a library that transports tapes to and from library slots) |
| E/A-Steuerung | I/O control (A command that enables a program to communicate directly with a device driver. This is done, for example, by sending a string of control information recognized by the driver. None of the information passed from the program to the device driver is sent to the device itself (in other words, the control string sent to a printer driver is not displayed on the printer)) |
| E/A-Virtualisierung mit Einzelstamm | single-root I/O virtualization (Functionality that enables SR-IOV–capable devices, e.g. network adapters, to be assigned directly to virtual machines) |
| im Speicher abgebildeter E/A | memory-mapped I/O (Input/output memory (memory on hardware devices) that is accessible through a memory mapping) |
| Multipfad-E/A | Multipath I/O (A Microsoft multipathing solution that enables more than one read/write path to a logical unit number (LUN). With MPIO, multipathing is achieved by assigning multiple Fibre Channel host bus adapter ports or multiple iSCSI initiator adapters on a server to the same LUN, and then configuring that server to use MPIO) |
