primary switch (tiering)

Additional functionality is described in this chapter under each of the screen

NOTE:
The OSD operates independently of your computer operating system.
Navigation
You can navigate the OSD menus and enter commands using the mouse and
keyboard; however, because the switch operates independently of the computer
operating systems, OSD keyboard and mouse conventions may differ from those
you use when controlling the selected computer.
Table 4-1
lists the special
conventions used while navigating the OSD.
