Abstract
A system and method for displaying status information from several devices in a computer system is disclosed. A primary status indicator is associated with a server or a group of servers. The primary status indicator is communicatively coupled to the server management software that is monitoring the server or server group. During the period that the server management software does not detect a failure or an imminent failure in any component of the server or server group, the primary status indicator will be illuminated to reflect a normal operating status. If the server management software detects a failure or an imminent failure in a component of the server or a server in the server group, the primary status indicator will be illuminated to reflect an alert status.
