expanded entry that cannot be expanded further.
Action Window
When you click an item on the system tree, details about the component or object appear in the data area of the action window. Clicking
an action tab displays all available user options as a list of subcategories.
Clicking an object on the system/server module tree opens that component's action window, displaying the available action tabs. The data
area defaults to a preselected subcategory of the first action tab for the selected object.
The preselected subcategory is usually the first option. For example, clicking the Main System Chassis/Main System object opens an
action window in which the
Properties action tab and Health subcategory are displayed in the window's data area.
Data Area
The data area is located below the action tabs on the right side of the home page. The data area is where you perform tasks or view
details about system components. The content of the window depends on the system tree object and action tab that is currently selected.
For example, when you select BIOS from the system tree, the Properties tab is selected by default and the version information for the
system BIOS appears in the data area. The data area of the action window contains many common features, including status indicators,
task buttons, underlined items, and gauge indicators.
The Server Administrator user interface displays the date in the <mm/dd/yyyy> format.
System or Server module component status indicators
