Hardware Management Console Workplace
The Hardware Management Console workplace panel consists of three areas: a Views area, a Tasks
area, and a Work area. The
Views area
, in the upper portion of the panel, contains icons that represent
different collections or views of the objects that make up your system. The background color of this area
also gives an indication of the status of the system. The
Tasks area
, in the right portion of the panel,
contains icons that represent the operations that you can perform on the objects. The
Work area
, in the
middle portion of the panel, is the area of the panel that displays the objects of your system, based on the
view that you select. Initially, the objects of the Groups view are displayed in the Groups Work Area.

You can work with the panel using the mouse to select objects, and using what is known as the
drag and
drop technique
. This involves using the mouse to pick up one or more objects, dragging them to a task,
and then dropping them.
