2. Click the Install Checklist link (on the left side) to open a new window that lists
the steps necessary to configure a new server. Each step has a description
followed by a link to the appropriate web admin page to execute the step. Follow
the order of the steps aid for a successful configuration. Most of the administrative
pages for each step contain all the descriptions and help necessary to carry out
the step. Use this guide to supplement the information on the web pages, when
necessary.

Users can opt to set the time on the server using NTP to set the time automatically or

2. Click the modify link in the Action column. The Time page displays.
3. Click the radio button to select an option:
• Use NTP to set time automatically. In the NTP server field, specify an
SNTP-server IP address or a domain name. In the Poll Period, specify the
number of minutes between polls.
• Set time manually - specify the time in hours, minutes, seconds, and date in
the respective fields.
4. Locate the Time Zone section and select the time zone from the drop-down list.
a. Check the Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time box
underneath the selected time zone to enable the system to update the time
automatically.
