They don't have a battery-backed clock. SNMP timestamps are all relative to the boot time, so an absolute time isn't essential. You can configure an NTP server to synchronize from.

Example timesync from a 2920. It is almost exactly the same on all the current ProCurve switches.

timesync sntp
sntp unicast
sntp server priority 1 10.20.30.90
time daylight-time-rule user-defined begin-date 10/01 end-date 04/01
time timezone 600

 Example is for Australia Eastern Time.
