Select a Server/PC node from the network tree.
Click with the right mouse button.
If the Server/PC is the local Server/PC select Local Computer Optical Drives Diagnostics Scan.
If theServer/PC is a network Server/PC select Current Computer Optical Drives Diagnostics Scan.
A process begins of scanning the target Server/PC for WMI data.
This data is granular diagnostic data for each sensor type.
Once target node has been retrived a 3D version is populated with color coded status sensors.
Green signifies that the component is OK.
Yellow shows a component is in a warning state.
Red indicates an error in the target component.
Click on the cd disk and detailed data will appear in the status box.
Note that WMI does not always return data as to the status of a drive, so in some instances components will not have status available and may show a Warning...
By default WMI returns some data about the status of various messages.

Quite often you will find no message returned by a sensor. This is nothing usually to worry about.
In some cases, for various reasons the component just doesnt produce a message.
