Configuring accounts and passwords 51
The closer that the starting system time from the BIOS is to the actual time
reference provided by these clock sources, the quicker the NTP protocol
converges with these clock sources. Therefore, set the server BIOS
clock to a value that is close to the current local time. Accuracy to within
several minutes provides a reasonable starting point for an effective NTP
convergence, but keeping it to within a minute is ideal.
Procedure Steps
Step Action
1 During the Linux installation process, the system displays the
following prompt:
Do you want to keep this date and time (Y/N) [Y]?
2 Do one of the following:
Select Y (default) to accept the current date and time as they
appear.
OR
Select N to enter a new date and time.
After the new date and time are confirmed, the data is written to
the BIOS.
The installer then continues with the next phase of Linux
operating system installation.

Configuring accounts and passwords
This phase of the Linux operating system installation includes the
configuration of user accounts and passwords.
During the Linux operating system installation process, the installer first
determines if the accounts and passwords are being recovered from a
backup file. If the accounts and passwords are being recovered as part
of a restore process, the installer displays the list of user accounts to be
recovered.
If accounts are not being recovered, use these procedures to create new
accounts and passwords.
Attention: When configuring accounts and passwords during installation,
you must choose one of the following options.
