Setting System Time
And Date
Question:
How do I change the system time
and date?
Answer:
Follow the instructions to do a system shutdown. After about 30
seconds, turn the main server power on. Once the system starts up and you
see the "Boot:" prompt, Do Not Touch Anything!
After a short delay you will see a prompt, "Enter new time ({yymmdd}hhmm):".
At this point, you would enter the new time and or date. If the date you
wanted to enter is 2:30pm on Sept 27,2000, it would be entered in the following
format: 0009271430.
Note: The system uses a 24 hour clock. If the time is not entered
correctly, the message "Bad Conversion, Try Again" will
appear. Reenter the date and time and press Enter. Once the system
has accepted the time and date, the system will continue startup.
