Alert Panel This panel displays a color-coded alert symbol that indicates the most
critical status of any component managed by the Connectrix
Manager. For example, if a component in a managed product fails, a
red diamond with yellow background (most critical state) appears in
the alert panel, even if all other components are fully operational.

Operational States and Symbols
Operational State Symbol
Operational
Network communication is established. All products are
operational and no failures are indicated.
Degraded
At least one product under management is operating in a
degraded mode and requires service. This condition is
typical when a redundant FRU fails and the backup FRU is
operational.
Failed
A product under management has failed and requires
immediate service.
Unknown
The Connectrix Manager cannot determine product status
because of a network communication failure between the
product and the Connectrix service processor, or because
the managed product is not responding. The link may
never have been established, or the link may have
malfunctioned.
This is a normal background indication when the managed
product is managed by another Service Processor.
