Configure the date and time

The appliance logs deployment operations based on the date and time of the appliance system clock. You can set the system clock to match your timezone to prevent unexpected behavior, such as running resource-intensive backups during high network activity.

1.	On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Date and Time Settings to display the Date and Time Settings page.

2.	Specify the following settings:

Option	Description
Timezone	Select a timezone in the drop-down list.
Time Setting	Select an option: • Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server. Use an Internet time server. If you select this option, provide the server web address in the Server field. • Set the clock on the appliance manually. Set the appliance clock manually. Specify the time and date in the drop-down lists. The Hour drop-down list uses a 24-hour clock format.
Time Server	Use an Internet time server to set the appliance time. Enter the web address of the time server in the text box. For example: time.example.com. By default, the system clock is set to synchronize with the Quest KACE time server.   NOTE: You can look up the time servers available for your system clock synchronization process using the NIST Internet Time Servers at http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi.

3.	Click Save.

The web server restarts, and the settings are applied.

During the restart, active connections might be dropped. When changes are saved, the page automatically refreshes after 15 seconds. After the appliance web server restarts, the updated date and time appear in the bottom right of the Administrator Console.
