The tree view has two available views; the Physical View and the Logical View. The Physical View provides an automatically populated representation of the actual physical hierarchy of blade components (blades and switches in enclosures in racks), and is a good place to create and utilize folders representing departments or physical locations. You can then populate those folders with one or more blade racks. The Logical View is provided so that you can manage blade components based on convenient groupings, such as application service, application tier, operating system image, location, and so on, and is a good place to put folders representing other types of groupings like ownership or allocation.
As you select components in the tree view area, the data pane displays data specific to the selected components.
In the tree view area, click expand all menu items
to expand all of the menu lists, or click collapse all menu items to collapse the menu lists.

Each component displayed in the tree view has a component icon associated with it:
This is the component icon for folders
This is the component icon for racks
This is the component icon for enclosures
This is the component icon for server blade
This is the component icon for interconnect switches
This is the component icon for blade PC nodes
The Updated link refreshes the tree and data pane views. Any selections that you have made in the tree are lost. Next to this link is the date and time of the last update.
The tree view displays hardware status icons. The status icon is the status of the most critical child component. For example, if an enclosure has five blade servers, and the worst blade is at a Critical status, the status of the enclosure becomes Critical. If the component has no child components, then the status icon is the status of that individual component.
