Dell recommends that you verify the system can accept your bonding selection type. The connection will be

lost unless it is correctly configured. For more information, see Configuring Networking Settings.

d. In Bonding, enter the MTU value for the maximum transmission unit (the MTU accepts values between 512 and

9000). For more information, see Configuring Networking Settings.

e. In Active Directory, enter a fully qualified domain name for the Active Directory Services (ADS) domain in

Domain Name (FQDN), enter an organization name in Org Unit, enter a valid ADS username in Username, and

enter a valid ADS password in Password.

For more information, see Configuring Active Directory Settings.

NOTE: If an ADS domain has already been configured, you will not be allowed to change the values for

the Hostname or IP Address settings.

Configuration — Date and Time page will not display.

7. In the Settings pane, select the Mode choice (NTP or Manual).

a. If you select NTP, accept or revise the NTP servers as desired (you are limited to only three NTP servers), and

in Time Zone, select the desired time zone from the drop-down list.

b. If you select Manual, in Time Zone, select the desired time zone from the drop-down list, click the Calendar icon

domain. When the DR Series system is joined to a domain, such as the Microsoft Active Directory Services

(ADS) domain, NTP is disabled.
