# Changing the Date and Time

There are four options for setting the date and time on your Media Vault.

One option is to click Yes on the HP Media Vault Configuration dialog at the end of the installation to use your computer settings for the language, date, time, time zone, and network workgroup.

The factory default method for maintaining the date and time after the initial installation is to synchronize the Media Vault with an Internet Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. This feature is called Set Clock from Internet time server and it periodically checks the date and time using the Internet.

If you do not want to set your clock using the Internet time server, you can type the date and time or click Set time from browser. Both of these options are a one-time change. Neither of them check the date and time on an ongoing basis to make sure they are accurate.

See the instructions below for changing the date and time after the software installation.
