•Diagnostics Report

•SmartSSD Wear Gauge Report

When selecting either report, the available actions on the Actions panel include viewing the report or saving the report.

For a list of possible tasks that are available on the Diagnostics screen, see "Diagnostic tasks (on page 53)."

HP SSA help

The Help button, at upper right, opens the embedded HP SSA help file. In addition to providing information about the main screens and tabs, Help also provides several useful topics for new users, including the following:

•Image Legend—A visual reference list defining the icons and graphical buttons used in HP SSA ("Icon and key stroke legend" on page 17)

•Keyboard Controls—An explanation and list of keyboard functions for navigating the GUI ("Icon and key stroke legend" on page 17)

•Keyboard Shortcuts—A list of keys and operations they perform within the GUI

To view these help topics and others, press the H key or click Help. When the Help window opens, expand the topic "Getting Started with HP SSA."

The glossary in HP SSA help defines industry standard and HP terms as they relate to the HP SSA application.
