How to Use Help

Hardware Management Console provides two levels of help.

What's This?

What's This? help displays information about the input boxes, display fields, check boxes, buttons, and other elements you encounter as you perform system management tasks in containers, dialogs, and properties notebooks in Hardware System Console.

You can access What's This? help from any of these points:

A help window opens when you invoke this type of assistance. Move the cursor over any field to display its related help.

Click OK when you are ready to close the Help window.

Task help

Task help is task-oriented assistance for overall Hardware Management Console functionality and for tasks that can be performed from each HMC application.

Task help is opened by selecting Contents from the Help menu or from the Tips Help child window. If you select Contents from within a HMC Manager application, the initial page displayed is the top level help for that application. If you select Contents from the HMC launch window, the initial page is the top level help for HMC. From that page, you can link to overall HMC information and to specific help for each application.

To exit Task help, close the browser session.
