6.1 Using the Connection View
The Connection View window does not allow you to configure and manage your system.  This window is intended to provide a real-time monitoring of system status.  The Connection View displays logical and physical elements managed by controllers.  It uses unique colors and icons to reveal various component statuses.

The navigation panel reports failures to the user by displaying a red "X" on the icon of whichever device has failed.  As long as a RAID system is connected, events appear instantly on the Event List window.  The component status is simultaneously reflected on the associated icons in the navigation panel of the Connection View window.  For instance, if a cooling fan failure is reported through an event message, a system administrator can locate the failed device on the navigation panel to get a clearer view of what is happening.
