icons appear in the Management window and Alarm dialog box identifying which resources need operator
attention or some other type of service. See

Viewing the attributes of a selected resource in the system. If you suspect that a resource is having problems,
you can check the attributes of the resource in the Attributes dialog box. Attributes identify information such as
the name of the resource, type of resource, and state of the resource. See
