Overview 20
Using the Element Manager
This section provides a general overview of the Element Manager and its functions.
For details on performing specific tasks and using specific dialog boxes, see the appropriate
chapters in this manual.
Using dialog boxes
Buttons such as OK, Activate, Close or Cancel initiate functions in a dialog box. Click a button to
perform its labeled function.
NOTE: There is a difference between the Close and Cancel buttons. Close closes the dialog box
and saves the data you entered. Cancel cancels the operation and closes the dialog box without
saving the information you entered.
Illustrations used in this manual
Figures containing Element Manager screens in this manual are included for illustration purposes
only. These illustrations may not match exactly what you see through your HAFM appliance or
remote computer running client software. Title bars have been removed from the illustrations, and
fields in the illustrations may contain different data than in screens displayed on your system.
Keyboard navigation
Keyboard navigation is an alternative to mouse navigation. The Element Manager supports
standard keyboard navigation and identifies equivalent keystrokes for menu options whenever
possible.

Or
• Right-click a director icon on the HAFM Physical/Topology Map. (See Figure 2 on page 21.) A
