ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch Command Line Interface Reference Guide
Configuring the Switch Modules using the Command Line Interface
Setting Date and Time Parameters Manually
IMPORTANT: If the system clock is set and power is lost to the interconnect switch, manual time
settings are reset to factory defaults when the interconnect switch is powered on. If this occurs,
manually reset the date and time. If SNTP is configured, losing power has no effect, so no manual
resetting of time is required.
The factory default for SNTP is set to disabled. This allows you to manually set the date and
time on the interconnect switch if desired. Use the time and date conventions in the following
table when configuring the date, time, local time zone, and local daylight saving time
parameters:
Table 2-2: Time and Date Conventions
