The FAQ entry is correct

Thank you! Closing this then.

There are still some issues in there:

'this mean that the node is not reachable due to network issues' this -> it
'or its slurmd is not running' -> 'or slurmd on this node is not running'
'In the down state, the node is reachable, but the node was rebooted unexpectedly, the hardware does not match the description in slurm.conf, or a healthcheck was configured with the HealthCheckProgram.'
but either the node was rebooted ... also: healthcheck -> health check
