Configure Date and Time
The date and time can be set manually or using NTP (Network Time Protocol). The NTP
settings are used to accurately control the current time on the BlackPearl system.
Note:
If you plan to join an Active Directory domain, you must configure the BlackPearl
system to use NTP. If the system time and the Active Directory time are more than
5 minutes apart, joining the domain fails.
