Before You Begin

Remember to complete the required configurations in this chapter before proceeding. Dell support remains available
to you for any phase of AWMS installation.

Formatting the Top Header

The AWMS interface centers around a horizontal row of tabs with nested subtabs.
A row of statistics hyperlinks called Top Header Stats above the tabs represents many commonly used subtabs.
These hyperlinks provide the ability to view certain key statistics by mousing over, such as number and type of
Down devices, and serve as shortcuts to frequently viewed subtabs.
more details on hyperlinks, tabs and subtabs, see
