• Edit Exclusive: Enter a configuration editing mode where, after committing your changes, you can
specify a timeout period to test the changes. At the end of the timeout period, your changes to revert
back to the original settings. Use this mode when you want to test changes before committing them
permanently. When you click Commit, a dialog prompts you to set a commit timeout. Type a value
and select a unit of time. ROX temporarily applies your changes to the active system for the specified
time. To cancel the commit and discard the changes, click Abort Commit before the time elapses.
To permanently commit your changes, click Commit before the time elapses.

the Hardware submenu will display the Slot Hardware table. Further clicking on the pm1 submenu will
display the Slot Hardware form.
