Configuring the BIOS hardware clock
The hardware clock is configured during initial BIOS configuration and
can also be configured directly within the BIOS by using the BIOS setup
utility. Use this procedure to modify the hardware clock settings during an
installation without entering BIOS configuration directly.
The system clock of the runtime server is a software-based clock, separate
from the hardware clock in BIOS. It is read by the Linux kernel as the
runtime system initializes, providing the seed time for the software-based
clock. Shortly after the system initializes, the NTP daemon running on
the local server initiates its protocol with the configured clock sources to
perform time synchronization.
