Term Term Definition Options Unit of Measure
Managed A computer server that is designed for a high level of availability in a highly managed environment. A managed server is designed to be configured with redundant power supplies, and contains an installed dedicated management controller (e.g., service processor). Energy Star criteria. View None
Manual defrost Manual defrost refers to the type of defrosting system included for a freezer. View None
Memory For purposes of this specification, memory is a part of a server external to the processor in which information is stored for immediate use by the processor. View None
Microprocessor A microprocessor is used to control various user-selectable product functions, including carafe pre-warming and automatic brewing start/stop timers. View None
Microwave oven Microwave ovens cook or heat food by means of microwave energy. Some microwave ovens also have thermal elements designed for surface browning of food. Microwave ovens are sometimes available as combination ovens, which have additional heating elements or convection capability. Microwave ovens enable users to cook food in ways similar to conventional ovens. These products are offered in a broad range of sizes and configurations. Typical microwave ovens are available in countertop or over-the-range configurations. View None
Mini rack oven A rack oven that has the ability to produce steam internally and includes an internal rotating rack where pans are manually pushed into the racks. Mini-rack ovens typically hold 5 Ð 8 full-size sheet pans. View None
Modular UPS A UPS comprised of two or more single UPS units, sharing one or more common frames and a common energy storage system, whose outputs, in Normal Mode of operation, are connected to a common output bus contained entirely within the frame(s). The total quantity of single UPS units in a modular UPS equals Òn + rÓ where n is the quantity of single UPS units required to support the load; r is the quantity of redundant UPS units. Modular UPSs may be used to provide redundancy, to scale capacity or both. View None

Motherboard The main circuit board of the server. For purposes of this specification, the motherboard includes connectors for attaching additional boards and typically includes the following components: processor, memory, BIOS, and expansion slots. View None
Multi function device A Multi-Function Device (MFD) product that performs two or more of the core functions of a Printer, Scanner, Copier, or Fax Machine. An MFD may have a physically integrated form factor, or it may consist of a combination of functionally integrated components. MFD copy functionality is considered to be distinct from single-sheet convenience copying functionality sometimes offered by fax machines. This definition includes products such as MFDs, and Òmulti-function productsÓ (MFPs). View None
Multi input multi output wireless IEEE 802.11n/ac and related MIMO enabled Wi-Fi functionality that supports more than one spatial stream in both send and receive. When using the notation MIMO AxB: A is considered the number of spatial streams while B is the number of antennas supported. A spatial stream is an independent and separately encoded data signal. View None
Multi node server A computer server that is designed with two or more independent server nodes that share a single enclosure and one or more power supplies. In a multi-node server, power is distributed to all nodes through shared power supplies. Server nodes in a multi-node server are not designed to be hot-swappable. View None
Multi port A battery charger that, by design, is capable of simultaneously charging two or more batteries. Multi-port chargers may have multi-voltage capability. View None
Multi room The capability to provide independent live audio/video content to multiple devices (2 or more Clients) or support pause/time-shifting capability for otherwise standalone IP or Thin- client STBs within a single family living unit. This definition does not include the capability to manage gateway services for multi-subscriber scenarios. View None
Multi stream A STB or DVG feature that allows the device to receive multiple independent streams of video content for use with one or more Clients, one or more directly connected Display Devices, or a DVR, etc. This definition does not include the capability to manage gateway services for multi-subscriber scenarios. View None
Multi voltage A battery charger that, by design, may charge a variety of batteries that have different Nominal Battery Voltages. View None
Multichannel video programming distributor internet protocol Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) Internet Protocol (IP) is an IP STB or DVG that can receive signals from a MVPD. View None
Multiple tank conveyor A conveyor type machine that includes one or more tanks for wash water and one or more tanks for pumped rinse water, followed by a sanitizing rinse. This type of machine may include a pre-washing section before the washing section and an auxiliary rinse section, for purposes of reusing the sanitizing rinse water, between the power rinse and sanitizing rinse section. Multiple tank conveyor dishwashers can be either chemical or hot water sanitizing, with an internal or external booster heater for the latter. View None
Multiple tank flight conveyor A multiple conveyor machine where the dishes are loaded directly on the conveyor rather than transported within a rack. This machine is also referred to as a rackless conveyor. View None
Network client testing A computer or computer server that generates workload traffic for transmission to a unit under test (UUT) connected via a network switch. View None
Network equipment A device whose primary function is to pass Internet Protocol (IP) traffic among various network interfaces / ports. View None
Network equipment A device whose primary function is to pass data among various network interfaces, providing data connectivity among connected devices (e.g., routers and switches). Data connectivity is achieved via the routing of data packets encapsulated according to Internet Protocol, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand or similar protocol. View None
Networking protocol A function by which a device can connect to a network for transmission and receipt of data. The connection may be wired or wireless (e.g., IR communications, Ethernet, Bluetooth, RS-232, USB). View None
Notified Recognition award or notification has been sent to approved premises. View None
Nugget Nugget: Nugget ice machines use the same process as flake machines but compress the ice flakes into nuggets. View None
