Date & Time
The Date & Time page allows you to set the system date and time of the DXi4700. You can specify a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the system time with, or you can manually enter the
date and time.
Caution: Changing the date and time settings requires a system reboot immediately after the changes
are applied. Wait for at least 15 minutes before logging back in.
Additional Information
l Network Time Protocol (NTP) requires a continuous connection to an NTP server to maintain the
correct time. If the system does not have connectivity access, it is recommended that you set the
system date and time manually.
l It is recommended that you do not modify the system date and time while making other configuration
changes, such as add and removing NAS file shares.
l If you intend to join the DXi4700 to a Windows network using Active Directory for NAS storage,
Quantum recommends using an NTP Server to set the system date and time (see Windows Domain
on page 198).
To access the Date & Time page, on the System page, click the Date & Time tab (see Figure 188 on the
next page).
