3.9. Time Zone Selection
3.9.1. Location
Configure here the time zone. You can select the appropriate time zone by specifying the local time or the offset (+9 hours in the case of Japan) from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Which method to select depends on the BIOS hardware clock configuration. In Japan, selecting the local time and leaving the time zone as "Asia/Tokyo" will raise no problem.
Select "System clock uses UTC" only when the hardware clock is configured to use UTC. In this case, assign the UTC offset corresponding to the selected time zone to the system clock.
3.9.2. Time Server
Use this tab when you acquire time information from the time server (NTP server). Select [Use time server] and specify the following parameters: Ask the network administrator if you have any question.
- Synchronize time:
Select intervals at which the clock is synchronized.
- Host name or IP address of the time server:
Specify the host name or IP address of the time server from which you will acquire time information.
