To view and configure the date and time:

1. Click Settings on the sidebar and select the Date and Time tab 
   The Date and Time page opens. 
   

   

2. Select or enter the new value(s) in the appropriate field(s). For details, see Date and Time Settings.
3. Toggle Use NTP Server off to manually set the date and time.
4. Select the time zone from the Timezone - Locale dropdown. The current date and time according to the Timezone will appear in the Current Time field.
5. To apply your changes, click Apply.
6. To validate that the NTP server is reachable, click Test (next to the NTP server field).
   Once the test is complete, a 'Valid NTP Server' message will pop up, and a green checkmark will appear.
   

   

7. Click Reboot to finish connecting to a valid NTP server, and to apply date and time changes (if configured manually).
