Table 14. Hardware functional status indicators
Important:
If a functional status indicator is not green, it does not necessarily mean that overall
system status is jeopardized. A functional status indicator may remain red / orange /
yellow even if the hardware element is re–operating correctly, indicating that the
hardware element is subject to error. Overall server functional status is indicated by
the system Functional Status icon in the Status pane. For further details, see What to
Do if an Incident Occurs, on page 4-25.
Note:
If, when you toggle the PAM Tree to view hardware functional status, the functional status of

the level of the malfunctioning hardware element, as shown in Figure 36.
