IE6 concludes its message with, Do you want to proceed?
IE7 concludes its message with, We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this
website.
You need to proceed in both cases. The same level of security exists whether you are using IE6 or IE7, but

Graphical user interface features
The GUI includes the following six regions:
1. Banner The banner provides a link to the Home page, a link to Sign Out of HP SIM, and displays
the user that is currently signed in. Click the minimize icon in the top right corner to minimize the banner.
To maximize the banner, click the maximize icon.
2. System Status panel This panel provides uncleared event status, system health status information,
and an alarm to notify you about certain events or statuses. You can customize the System Status
panel for your environment. If you do not need to view this panel at all times, you can collapse it by
clicking the minus sign in the top right corner of the panel. To expand the panel, click the plus sign. If
the System Status panel is collapsed and an alarm is received, the panel expands to show the alarm.
You can enlarge the panel clicking the Open in new window icon ( ) to display a separate large
window that you can resize and view from across a room without sitting at the HP SIM terminal.
3. Search panel The search feature enables you to search for matches by system name and common
system attributes. You can also perform an advanced search for matches based on selected criteria.
To speed the search process, as you enter system information in the search box, a dropdown list appears
listing systems that begin with the text you are entering. You can select from the dropdown list or continue
to enter the information. See the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide at http:/
/h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for information about
search criteria. If you do not need to view this panel at all times, you can collapse it by clicking the
minus sign ( ) in the top right corner of the panel. To expand the panel, click the plus sign ( ).
4. System and Event Collections panel System and event collections enable you to view all known
systems and events in a specific management environment. A collection can be private, visible only to
its creator, or shared, visible to all users. HP SIM ships with default shared collections only. See the HP
Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/
servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for information about customizing and creating new
collections.
