System Configuration Page And Options - Dell PowerVault Storage Area Network Administrator's Manual

• Shut down the system
• Reboot the system
The System Configuration page provides the means for managing configuration settings for the Networking, Active
Directory, Local Workgroup Users, Email Alerts, Admin Contact Info, Email Relay Host, and Date and Time pages in the
system.
NOTE: For example, to manage the date and time configuration settings, click Date and Time to display the Date
and Time page. You can then add or edit the following date and settings: Mode, Time Zone, and Date and Time. If
the DR Series system is part of a workgroup and not joined to a Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain,
you will also be able to add or edit the Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers associated with the system. However,
when the DR Series system is joined to a domain, the NTP Servers setting on the Date and Time page is disabled
and is not displayed.
NOTE: Dell recommends using NTP servers when the DR Series system will be running as part of a workgroup and
not joined to a domain. The use of NTP servers as a reference time source is disabled when the DR Series system
is joined to a domain.
