Configuring the system time and date
It’s important that you set the current time and date for your server so that
the system can correctly log system events and record file activity. You set
the time and date in the Date & Time control panel.
To set the system date and time:
1
Open the Date & Time control panel.
The Date & Time control panel is in the Control Panels submenu in the
Apple (K) menu.
2
To set the current date, click each number in the “Current date” box and
type the number you want to set for the month, day, or year. Or, click the
arrows that appear until the number you want to set is displayed.
Changes take effect immediately.
3
To display the date in a different format, click the Date Formats button.
A dialog box appears that allows you to select from a variety of date
formats. The new format takes effect when you click OK.
4
To set the time zone, click the Set Time Zone button.
A dialog box appears that allows you to select a city and country that
represents your time zone. The time zone you select takes effect
immediately.
5
If daylight savings time is in effect in your time zone, click the Daylight
Savings Time box so that an “X” appears.
