When the host is booted. The host’s BIOS unconditionally sets the SP time to that
indicated by the host’s RTC. The host’s RTC is set by the following operations:

When the host’s CMOS is cleared as a result of changing the host’s RTC battery
or inserting the CMOS-clear jumper on the motherboard. The host’s RTC starts
at Jan 1 00:01:00 2002.

When the host’s operating system sets the host’s RTC. The BIOS does not
consider time zones. Solaris and Linux software respect time zones and will set
the system clock to UTC. Therefore, after the OS adjusts the RTC, the time set
by the BIOS will be UTC.

When the user sets the RTC using the host BIOS Setup screen.

Continuously via NTP if NTP is enabled on the SP. NTP jumping is enabled to
recover quickly from an erroneous update from the BIOS or user. NTP servers
provide UTC time. Therefore, if NTP is enabled on the SP, the SP clock will be in
UTC.
