      3. Double click on the cartridge, which you wish to add to the group, for the selected cartridge to appear in the main pane.
      4. Drag the group connector, which appears underneath the group in the shape of a rectangle, and drop it on top of the cartridge connector, which appears in the shape of a half circle, on top of the cartridge.
   2. To add a nested group to a cartridge group.
      
      1. Click Group Templates to expand the group template pane. This step can be skipped if the group template pane is already expanded.
      2. Double click on the group node template for the nested group template to appear in the main pane.
      3. Drag the main group connector, which appears underneath the group in the shape of a rectangle, and drop it on top of the nested group connector, which appears in the shape of a half circle, on top of the main group.
      Repeat steps (a) and (b) based on the cartridge group that you wish to create. The overall topology view of the cartridge group will appear in the main pane.
