Dell T330: UEFI0130 Error: "The system time and date are invalid"

Hi,

Have an old Dell T330 Poweredge server that I wanted to run NAS linux based software on and wiped the system clean, updated bios to the latest and at reboot got an error on post that the system date and time are invalid.  This results in the system bios clock being 3 hours ahead of what the linux server software says it is and everytime I enter a new time in bios it resets forward 3 hours with same error message halting the bootup process unless I press F2 or whatever.  I tried replacing the cmos battery to no effect. Best guess is that there is a UTC time HWclock mismatch I can't figure out. Tried changing the time zone on the command line when I ssh into the server but nothing works. 

Thanks
