• Time Zone—select from a list of time zone options based on Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT), such as GMT-8:00, Pacific Time (US and Canada).
• Date and Time—select the data and time as mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss using
a 24-hour time format (for example, 09/16/11 14:05:45) when using the
Manual mode.
• NTP Servers—select from an Internet pool of NTP servers (you can
define three NTP servers) when using the NTP mode.
NOTE:
System synchronization is critical for proper data archiving and replication
service operations.
By using the NTP mode, you can synchronize your system clock so that NTP
ensures your system has a reliable time stamp which is critical for file
exchanges, network log coordination and validation, and resource access
requests.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you use the NTP mode to ensure better replication
service operations. Set or modify existing date and time settings for your DR4000
system by using the Edit option in the Date and Time page.
