CSS Availability Status
The CSS availability status bar reflects the operational status of the data link(s) between the
Platform Management Board (PMB) embedded in each CSS Module and the PAP Unit. Each
CSS module is represented by a zone in the status bar.
• When a CSS Module PMB is detected as PRESENT, the corresponding zone in the status
bar is GREEN.
• When a CSS Module PMB is detected as ABSENT, the corresponding zone in the status
bar is RED.
• When you hover the mouse over the status bar, an Infotip displays the presence status of
CSS Module PMB - PAP Unit data links.
The following figure represents the status bar for a bi-module server. One CSS Module PMB
is detected as PRESENT and the other is detected as ABSENT.
