Configuring alarms for FRUs

Configuration for the FRU class is different from configuration for the other classes. Because FRUs
are not monitored through a threshold-based system, they have a simpler interface for
configuration.
For FRUs, you configure the states for which an event occurs, as described in the following
procedure.
1. Open the Fabric Watch window.
2. Select the Threshold Configuration tab.
3. In Fabric Watch Explorer, select a FRU class.
4. Under Area Selection, select a FRU type from the list.
