Backpanel Locations
The Backpanel Locations section at the bottom of the Network page
displays a graphical representation of the Ethernet ports as they appear
on the rear of the system.
The diagram indicates the current bonding configuration and
connectivity status for all Ethernet ports.
• Ports that are bonded together in an interface are shaded the same
color.
• A green border indicates a port is connected to a network.
• A red border indicates a port is configured but is not connected to a
network.
• Click Update Port View to update the information on the diagram.
Date & Time
The Date & Time page allows you to set the system date and time of the
DXi8500. You can specify a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to
synchronize the system time with, or you can manually enter the date
and time.
Caution: Changing the date and time settings requires a system
reboot immediately after the changes are applied. Wait for
at least 15 minutes before logging back in.
Note: If you intend to join the DXi8500 to a Windows network using
Active Directory for NAS storage, Quantum recommends using
an NTP Server to set the system date and time (see Windows
Domain on page 271).
To access the Date & Time page, on the System page, click the Date &
Time tab (see Figure 213 ).
