Configuring system date and time settings

Configuring system date and time settings

In the DR Series system GUI, you can configure date and time settings, for example, to synchronize with other DR Series systems or clients running in your domain.

The Date and Time information settings displayed in the system GUI include:

To modify the default time and date settings for your DR Series system, complete the following steps:

1.
In the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Date and Time.

The Date and Time page is displayed, showing the following information:

Mode—one of two types: Manual and Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Time Zone—you can select from a list of time zone options around the world.
NTP Servers—when using NTP mode, you can define up to three NTP servers.
Date and Time—when in Manual mode, the date and time can be shown as month, day, and time in a 24-hour time format.
NOTE: If the DR Series system is joined to a Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain, the Edit option will not be available and the Mode, Time Zone, or Date and Time values cannot be changed. If a DR Series system is joined to a domain, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) is disabled and the DR Series system uses the domain-based time service. NTP is used in the Mode setting when the DR Series system is part of a workgroup and not joined to a domain.

Next to Mode, select either Manual or NTP.

In the Time Zone drop-down list, select a time zone.

In the Date and Time drop-down calendar, select the date and then click the arrows to adjust the hour:minute:seconds for the time.
