Your diagnostic software will be delivered to you on a floppy disk,
a cartridge tape, or perhaps on a magnetic tape. In the process of hardware
setup you will normally set the system time. From that time your battery
powered system clock should keep correct time. Please observe above:

As a system administrator or superuser, you can always reset
the system clock using the command date. This software clock
setting will be active until the system power is turned off.
Upon power-up, some systems will use the shutdown time as the
initial time. Still other systems will always use the same
time upon power-up; obviously, that time is not very useful,
especially if it is a decade off!
Most modern systems have a battery powered clock which will
keep the time current (if properly set initially) regardless
of whether they are powered-up or not!
Initially, the system clock is set during the system installation.
It may be modified with the date command. On smaller systems,
however, this procedure may be done through the hardware
diagnostic software. (The clock is set using 24 hour time.)
Once your system clock is set, if the clock is battery-powered,
the system will keep proper time as long as the battery lasts.
Set the system time to July 8, 1988
4:55 PM. Remember to base the time
on a 24 hour clock. The syntax is:
date MMDDHHMM[YY]
date YYMMDDHHMM
where MM=month, DD=day of the month,
HH=hour, MM=minutes, YY=last two
digits of the year.

Good, you understand the concept.
