Configuring System Time Parameters
You can configure the system's time clock, determine how to automatically
update time using an NTP server, and configure the time zone for your
system on this page. Synchronizing the time clock is critical for the proper

This enables:
• Windows clients to mount the system.

appropriate time.
• The correct time to be recorded in the system log.
