The timestamp clock synchronization is run and the events are logged by the BIOS POST every time the system boots. In addition 
during the shutdown from some Operating Systems the BIOS SMI Handler is called to run timestamp clock synchronization and log 
the events.

  0001h = BIOS POST 
  0033h = BIOS SMI Handler 
Event Direction and 
Event Type 
[7] Event direction 
0b = Assertion Event 
1b = Deassertion Event 
[6:0] Event Type = 6Fh (Sensor Specific) 
[7:6] – 00b = Unspecified Event Data 2 
[5:4] – 00b = Unspecified Event Data 3 
[3:0] – Event Trigger Offset 
01h = System Boot 
05h = Timestamp Clock Synchronization 
For Event Trigger Offset 05h only (Timestamp Clock 
Synchronization) 
00h = 1st in pair 
80h = 2nd in pair
