   Note

   A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having an override applied. To remove an override go to the Basic Configuration section of the device and click the Clear Overrides button. This removes all overrides from the device.
4. Set a NoC Update Interval from 5-36500 seconds for updates from the RF Domain manager to the controller. This is the interval at which the RF Domain manager sends updates to its adopting controller.

   The default value is 0 seconds, which indicates the auto mode. In the auto mode the controller automatically adjusts the interval based on the information load.

5. Click + Add Row define (or override) the configurations of Network Time Protocol (NTP) server resources the controller uses it obtain its system time. Set the following values:

   Server IP	Set the IP address of each server as a potential NTP resource.
   Key Number	Select the number of the associated Authentication Key for the NTP resource.
   Key	If an autokey is not being used, manually enter a 64 character maximum key the controller or service platform and NTP resource share to securely interoperate.
   Preferred	Select the radio button to designate this particular NTP resource as preferred. If using multiple NTP resources, preferred resources are given first opportunity to connect to the controller and provide NTP calibration.
   AutoKey	Select the radio button to enable an Autokey configuration for the controller and NTP resource. The default setting is disabled.
   Version	Use the spinner control to specify the version number used by this NTP server resource. The default setting is 0.

6. Refer to the RF Domain Manager field to elect RF Domain Manager devices and assign them a priority in the election process

   Capable	Select this option to elect this controller a RF Domain manager capable of storing and provisioning configuration and firmware images for other members of the RF Domain. The RF-domain-manager updates any state changes to the rest of the devices in the RF Domain. This setting is enabled by default.
   Priority	Select this option to set the priority of this device becoming the RF Domain Manager versus other capable RF Domain members. The higher the value (1 - 255) the higher priority assigned to the device in the RF Domain Manager election process.

7. Refer to the RAID Alarm field to either enable or disable the chassis alarm that sounds when events are detected that degrade RAID support (drive content mirroring) on series service platform.

   RAID controller drive arrays are available within the NX95xx and NX96xx series service platforms.

   These service platforms include a single Intel MegaRAID controller (virtual drive) with RAID-1 mirroring support enabled. The online virtual drive supports up to two physical drives that could require hot spare substitution if a drive were to fail. An administrator can manage the RAID controller event alarm and syslogs supporting the array hardware from the service platform user interface and is not required to reboot the service platform BIOS.

8. Click OK to save the changes and overrides made to the general profile configuration.

   Click Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
