Bay 3, designated by block 76 and includes shelves that bracket
78 bounds (col. 4, line 58 to col. 5, line 19). Figure 4 of
Hotka teaches input/output (I/O) shelf graphic representation 110
that shows the components of I/O shelf 92 (col. 5, lines 35-47).
The graphic representation includes representations of status
indicators, such as indicator 124, which show green, yellow, or
red depending on the status of the associated unit (col. 5,
lines 47-52). To permit the user to completely change the
graphical representation of the network on demand, the templates
that represent 1633 SX bays and shelves have been reduced to
templates representing all levels of integration necessary to
configure a 1633 SX and these templates include each bay
representation that the 1633 SX supports and each kind of shelf
of a 1633 SX bay (col. 6, lines 49-68). The representation of
the templates accurately reflect the hardware representation that
the user seeks to monitor (col. 7, lines 6-8). The user
configures the graphics templates (col. 7, lines 26-29).
The nodes 12, 14, and 16 in figure 1 of Hotka are controlled
by the management control 18 and are monitored through system
monitoring software, such as that provided by Advanced Computing
Devices, Inc. (ACD) (col. 3, lines 37-44). The ACD software
provides signals to the controller 18 for display visually using
templates (col. 3, lines 53-61). As far as we can determine, the
nodes themselves do not store "image-data indicative of a view of
