NOTE: Context-sensitive online help is available for every window of the Server Administrator home
page. Click Help ( ) to open an independent help window that contains detailed information
about the specific window you are viewing. The online help is designed to guide you through the
specific actions required to perform all aspects of the Server Administrator services. Online help is
available for all windows you can view, based on the software and hardware groups that Server
Administrator discovers on your system and your user privilege level.
NOTE: You must have Administrator or Power User privileges to view many of the system tree
objects, system components, action tabs, and data area features that are configurable. Additionally,
only users logged in with Administrator privileges can access critical system features such as the
shutdown functionality included under the
Shutdown tab.
Managing System/Server Module Tree Objects
The Server Administrator system/server module tree displays all visible system objects based on the
software and hardware groups that Server Administrator discovers on the managed system and on the
user's access privileges. The system components are categorized by component type. When you expand
the main object — Modular Enclosure — System/Server Module — the major categories of system
components that may appear are, Main System Chassis/Main System, Software, and Storage.
If Storage Management Service is installed, depending on the controller and storage attached to the
system, the Storage tree object expands to display various objects.
For detailed information on the Storage Management Service component, see the Storage Management
User's Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
