There seems to be two choices here: 

1) define it as a timestamp (a fixed value between restarts), and base it
on the sysUpTime of the agent implementing the Chassis MIB, or

2) define it as a ticking clock (an incrementing value between restarts), 
and base it on the sysUpTime of the particular (underlying) entity.

My preference is for option 1, since it's a little more general.

Keith.
