The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) mandates that Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States (U.S.) start on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November starting in 2007. In 2007, the start and stop dates will be March 11 and November 4, respectively. The start date for DST in the U.S. was previously the first Sunday of April, and the end date for DST in the U.S. was previously the last Sunday of October. In 2006, the dates were the first Sunday in April (April 2, 2006) and the last Sunday in October (October 29, 2006).

As a result of the above, systems in timezones that utilize Daylight Saving Time (DST) will update their clocks on March 11 2007, rather than in April. Likewise system clocks will switch back in November 2007, rather than in October. This change affects timed operations within the Sun StorageTek 6920 product.
