Changing the time of day

Display and change the time and date stored by the system.

You can display and change the system's current date and time. The date and time can only be changed when the system is powered off. The time is stored as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), formerly expressed as Greenwich mean time (GMT).

To perform this operation, your authority level must be one of the following:
  • Administrator
  • Authorized service provider
Note: You can change the time of day only when the system is powered off.

To change the time of day, do the following:

  1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
  2. In the navigation area, expand System Configuration.
  3. Select Time of Day. If the system is powered off, the right pane displays a form that shows the current date (month, day, and year) and time (hours, minutes, seconds).
  4. Change either the date value or the time value or both, and click Save settings.
