Configuring System Date and Time Settings

If you need to configure or manage the date and time settings used by your system that synchronize it with other DR
Series systems or clients running in your domain, navigate to the Date and Time page, and click Edit. The Date and Time
page displays a Settings pane that contains the following date and time-related settings (by default, the system has the
following date and time settings as default values in an initial system startup):
• Mode—select from two types: Manual and Network Time Protocol (NTP).
NOTE: Dell recommends using NTP when the DR Series system is part of a workgroup and not part of a
domain. When the DR Series system is joined to a domain, such as the Microsoft Active Directory Services
(ADS) domain, NTP is disabled and the DR Series system uses the domain time.
• Time Zone—when in NTP mode, select from a list of time zone options based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT);
for example, GMT-8:00, Pacific Time (US and Canada).
• NTP Servers—when in NTP mode, select from an Internet pool of NTP servers (you can define up to three NTP
servers) when using the NTP mode. If this setting is not visible in the Settings pane, verify that the Mode
indicates it is joined to an Active Directory Services (ADS) domain. When joined to a domain, NTP is disabled for
the DR Series system.
• Set Date and Time—when in Manual mode, click the calendar icon, and configure the date and time by making
month, day, and time in a 24-hour time format selections. Use the controls on the calendar to select the month,
the day of the month, and the hours and minutes using the slider controls. To set the current time, click Now.
When done with setting your date and time values, click Done (and the time appears for example, as 12/12/12
14:05:45). When all date and time settings are configured, click Submit for the DR Series system to accept the
new values.
