System Tree
The system tree appears on the left side of the Server Administrator home page and lists the components
of your system that are viewable. The system components are categorized by component type. When
you expand the main object known as Modular Enclosure → System/Server Module, the major
categories of system/server module components that may appear are Main System Chassis/Main
System, Software, and Storage.
To expand a branch of the tree, click the plus sign ( ) to the left of an object, or double-click the
object. A minus sign ( ) indicates an 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.
