NTP is used in theMode setting when the DR Series system is part of a workgroup and not joined to a domain. To be able tomodify or edit any of the Settings pane values when the DR Series system is joined to an ADS domain, youwould first need to leave the ADS domain before you could modify any of the date and time settings.

Containers can then be accessed using NFS, CIFS, or RDA.If needed, you can also create additional system containers for storing your data.
