Consistent with PC industry standards, the hardware clock relies on timer functions in POST/BIOS to update the first two digits Applications in the workstation segment are more of the year, called the century indicator (from “19” to complex and require more support than traditional “20”). Operating systems use the hardware clock to set business productivity applications. Customers using their own date and time services each time the system is these applications require a close relationship with booted. After bootup, some operating systems deactivate independent software vendors (ISVs) and verification of some timer functions in BIOS and rely on their own date compatibility or certification from those vendors. and time functions during use. Customers demand assurances of compatibility testing for the hardware and operating systems and certification
